Also there is a difference between the use of /etc/sysctl.conf at boot and when 
using either the proposed -p option or the shell command: At boot we start out 
with the default values. When re-reading /etc/sysctl.conf the current state is 
the base. That is very relevant if you e.g. remove a line from /etc/sysctl.conf 
(to go back to the default).

Correct, see the official airport website:
https://www.hamburg-airport.de/en

Fuhlsbüttel is the name of the district within the city of Hamburg where the 
airport is located. As this is the only major public airport in Hamburg, 
colloquial usage often equated Fuhlsbüttel with the airport. The other airport 
Hamburg-Finkenwerder (XFW) is newer and mainly used for the Airbus production 
facilities in Hamburg. Regular flights do not use XFW except possibly in the 
case of serious emergencies.
