3 Dear karate enthusiasts On behalf of the Senate of the Free and Hanseatic City Hamburg, a warm welcome to Hamburg for the German Open I was very happy to be invited to be patron of this competition taking place in the Sporthalle Hamburg. I am particularly pleased that the German Open is being held again in Hamburg for the first time since With about 800 karatekas from around 60 countries participating, we are guaranteed bouts of the highest international standard. It will make the competition one of the highlights of Hamburg s 2016 sporting calendar. Karate is a fascinating Asian martial art that has been well established in Hamburg for many years, with enthusiasts spanning all age groups. Anyone wanting to pursue karate in Hamburg should have little trouble finding a dojo to suit them. I would like to thank the promoter of the German Open Premier League K1 2016, the World Karate Federation, and the joint organisers, the German Karate Federation and the Hamburger Karate Federation. I wish the contestants every success, the spectators exciting sport, and everybody a memorable time here in Hamburg.
