Yes, all correct! There is a spelling error in “enourmous”. Oh, and you cannot use “another” with a plural noun: you could say “even more commas”.

Hamburg, how does this relate to Aikuzo’s sentences? It would be hard to point out a comma that is unnecessary. In general I agree with you that adverbial constituents at the start of a sentence do not always need a comma.
The second of your sentences, Hamburg, does not make sense to me. It would make sense if you changed the first comma to a stronger stop, and removed the first article.
