The Hamburg Chamber of Commerce (''Handelskammer Hamburg'') is the chamber of commerce for the city state of Hamburg, and was founded in 1665, originally named the ''Commerz-Deputation''. Hamburg has for centuries been a commercial centre of Northern Europe, and the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce currently has 160,000 companies as its members. The chamber has several official responsibilities. The Hamburg Stock Exchange (founded in 1558) is owned by and subordinate to the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce. The chamber has its offices in the old stock exchange building.〔Leitbild der Handelskammer Hamburg ''(www.hk24.de )'' (PDF) 〕 The Commerz-Deputation, founded in 1665, originally consisted of seven members, elected among the city's "honourable merchants." Each member became President of the Commerz-Deputation during his last year in office. The Commerz-Deputation was officially recognised by the Hamburg council (senate) in 1674 as the representation of the city's merchants. From 1710, all the seven members of the Commerz-Deputation were also ''ex officio'' members of the ''Erbgesessene Bürgerschaft'' (the Hamburg Parliament). The Commerz-Deputation was, along with council/senate and ''Bürgerschaft'', one of the most important political bodies of Hamburg. In 1735, the ''Commerzbibliothek'' (Library of Commerce) was founded, and is the oldest library of its kind. In 1867, the Commerz-Deputation was transformed into Hamburg Chamber of Commerce. Since 2004 the Chamber of Commerce organizes the bi-annual Hamburg Summit: China meets Europe. == Presidents of the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce since 1665 == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hamburg Chamber of Commerce」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
