HHLA
Brief history: The company was established on 7 March 1885 as
Hamburger Freihafen-Lagerhaus-Gesellschaft (HFLG). It was a public private
partnership. A few years later, German Emperor Wilhelm II came to Hamburg,
when the erection of the first part of Hamburg’d famous Speicherstadt was
finished. Furthermore Hamburg joined the German customs zone and the Freeport
was opened. During the following years HFLG maintained the Speicherstadt,
where high quality goods like coffee, tea, cacao and spices had been stored.
Before WWI there was a worldwide boom of trade, what we would call today
globalization. HFLG made good profits. Hamburg’s Kaiverwaltung, which had
built up new wharfs, made losses. But for the very first time in Hamburg,
goods could be moved directly from ship to rail. In 1935 both companies
merged and in 1939 the company renamed itself Hamburger Hafen- und Lagerhaus-Aktiengesellschaft(HHLA).
After WWII the goods were transported by containers. HHLA adapted its
wharfs. In the 1990's HHLA bought shares of railway companies like POLZUG,
METRANS and TFG Transfracht International. The third column became transportation
from inland to the port.
Since 2005 the company renamed itself Hamburger Hafen und Logistik
AG. The abbreviation HHLA (say:: Hala) was kept.

Flag since 2008: It is a white flag with the company’s logo spread out
over nearly total width and est. 30% of total height. The logo is a bar
of five elements: blue-white-red-white-grey with ratio 21:1:2:1:1, sometimes
21:1:3:1:1. Within the blue part is the old logo in white (capitals HHLA
specially arranged).
Source: I spotted this flag on 4 May 2008, hoisted on HHLA’s headquarter
at Hamburg St.Annen.

the "Hamburg-gate", which is also part of the cities flag. Shifted to the

HHLA variant

HHLA: I saw this new version first time some days after the FIFA-Wordchampionship
2006 in the harbour area. At companies HQ in Hamburg-St.Annen they do hoist
the old version until today. The flag is more or less the same as the old
one but the Hamburg-gate has been modified. The pinnacles have disappeared
as well as other lines. The two side towers have been simplified to mere
rectangles. The door is open, probably to promote Hamburg as the city,
which is open-minded to all the world. The current logo of the city also
has an open door.

It is the current HHLA flag. In the lower fly corner a light grey inscription ""FMH"" (probably "Fisch Markt Halle" or "Fisch Markt Hamburg") is added.
