What do I need to know before retiring in Hamburg?

"Before retiring in Hamburg, expats should familiarize themselves with the local language, as most people in the city speak German. It is also important to research the cost of living in Hamburg, as it is one of the most expensive cities in Germany. Additionally, expats should look into the healthcare system in Hamburg, as it is a public system and may require additional private insurance.
