Lurkers are always watching. Now just need to find the man himself. The pics look about 15 years old

Zooming in a bit, the metalwork of the railings looks spot on for the original smug photo.
This has been a really fun day of discovery. :-)

With thanks to Prodigy69 and the Mystery Tweeter.
I just scared my cat*, guffawing so loudly at that.

What are these people doing, two houses to the left of the smugness?

I've been looking at Hamburg hotels all afternoon, convinced that croissant on a tray was from room service.

To think, I walked within mere tens of metres of the hallowed balcony when I was in Hamburg!
I have to laugh at the charming view off to the side of the balcony...I seem to recall quite a lot of people living rough around there, so maybe that's what he's so smug about.
Edit: According to a sign in front of the building, it's occupied by HanseMerkur, an insurance company, so it may be difficult to gain access to the balcony.
