history The first historic name for the city was, according to Claudius Ptolemy's reports, Treva. Two years later, Hamburg was united with Bremen as the bishopric of Hamburg-Bremen. In 1529, the city embraced Lutheranism, and Hamburg subsequently received Protestant refugees from the Netherlands and France and, in the 17 th century, Sephardi Jews from Portugal. Hamburg was destroyed and occupied several times. In 845, a fleet of 600 Viking ships sailed up the River Elbe and destroyed Hamburg which, at that time, was a town of around 500 inhabitants. In 1030, the city was burned down by King Mieszko II Lambert of Poland. The Black Death killed at least 60% of Hamburg's population in 1350 In 1842, about a quarter of the inner city was destroyed in the "Great Fire". It destroyed three churches, the town hall, and many other buildings, killing 51 people and leaving an estimated 20, 000 homeless. Reconstruction took more than 40 year.
