The Hamburg Police is brought closer to its citizens with its 60-strong choir, the Polizeichor Hamburg, founded in 1901. Germany’s oldest police choir is made up of employees from all sectors of policing, administration as well as other professional groups. Their repertoire ranges from classical music to folk music and sea shanties. Alongside harbour birthdays, family celebrations and other events throughout Germany, highlights of the season include the annual spring and Christmas concerts at the Laeiszhalle.
