The Hamburg European Open, formerly known as the German Open, holds the title of being one of the most time-honored tennis tournaments in the world, founded in 1892. This annual event is held in the vibrant city of Hamburg, Germany, on the historic clay courts of the Am Rothenbaum complex, Germany's largest tennis stadium with a capacity for 13,200 spectators.
