Overview
Forty-five years after the Beatles launched their international career in Hamburg, the music-loving German city is putting up a monument to the rock legends.
Radio station Oldie 95, the organiser, said that construction will begin this year of a steel monument representing the Fab Four - Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr - as well as Stuart Sutcliffe, an early Beatle who died in Hamburg in 1962.
The station says the £310,000 monument will be built on a corner of the St Pauli district near clubs where the group launched an international name for themselves with songs such as Love Me Do.document.write(unescape("
