There are plenty of tournaments in Hamburg. The big three are the Affensprung, which goes for 3 days and is a yearly stop on the Toyota Tour, as well as the Harburger Mausefalle and the Rahlstedter Tengen, which go for a full weekend each. There is a monthly lightning handicap tournament, usually on the first monday of each month, with prizes for the best performances over a whole year (and also promotions for those who won at least 75% of their games - Lutz Franke made it to 10 dan !!).
