There doesn't seem to be much known music for Hamburger Cittrinchen in
any tuning.
James Tyler mentioned on the ning group that he's working on compiling
lists of music for various citterns and he said he had found
surprisingly little German music.
It seems Andreas Michel had only managed to locate two manuscripts (1664
and c. 1700 respectively) when he wrote his article on the instrument:

Both these manuscripts use tunings with the same intervals as the
Moravian and Strom mss. but apparently at considerably higher pitches.
