Where was Brahms born and where did he spend his adolescence?

Brahms was born in Hamburg, one of the most important and largest port cities in Europe, both in the time of Brahms and in the present-day (it is the third-largest port in Europe, after Rotterdam and Antwerp…).Hamburg has a rich musical history, with major composers such as Telemann and Handel spending time in the city during their careers. Brahms spent his childhood and adolescence in Hamburg and then traveled quite a bit throughout Germany concertizing in the 1850s. He took up permanent residence in Vienna in 1862 and remained there until his death in 897.
