Hamburg plans Olympia with green ribbon and affordable tickets - Hamburg Bids for 2036 Olympics with Green, Inclusive Vision for All

Hamburg has officially submitted its bid to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games under the slogan An Opportunity for All. The city's red-green coalition government unveiled a plan that promises affordable access, green spaces, and long-term infrastructure upgrades. If successful, the Games could bring major changes to transport, jobs, and urban development.

The bid centres on two main hubs: Olympic Park City and Olympic Park Altona. These zones would transform Hamburg into what officials call an arena for everyone. A key feature is the Olympic Green Ribbon—a network of parks and green spaces stretching from Volkspark's sports venues to the Dove-Elbe Water Park in the east. This green corridor would link competition sites while expanding public recreation areas.

The opening ceremony would take place on the Binnenalster, where floating platforms will also host padel tennis, stand-up paddleboarding, and archery. Another standout venue is a climbing wall on the Elbe's southern bank, offering athletes and spectators a dramatic view of the city's skyline. Mountain biking, originally planned for the Harburg Hills, will now use the former Hummelsbüttel landfill site in Wandsbek, allowing for better design and future use. Tickets will include one million at reduced prices, plus free allocations for volunteers and low-income residents. The Games could also speed up major transport projects, such as the U5 and S6 rapid transit lines, while increasing the U3 subway's capacity by 50%. If Hamburg wins, around **16,000 new jobs** are expected, mainly in construction, transport, sports infrastructure, and urban greening. The city plans to invest roughly **1.3 billion euros** in long-term improvements, including barrier-free development. Hamburg faces competition from Munich, Berlin, and North Rhine-Westphalia for the 2036, 2040, or 2044 Games. Residents will vote on the proposal at the end of May.

A successful bid would reshape Hamburg's infrastructure, create jobs, and leave a legacy of green spaces and accessible sports facilities. The decision now rests with voters, who will determine whether the city moves forward in the selection process.
