Welcome to openHAB.
You are mixing things up: sitemap definitions go into sitemap files, items definitions into items files:

For example this

Dimmer  Light1_Dimmer       { channel="hue:0220:ecb5fa07ed9e:2:brightness" }

is an item definition, you need to put that in an items file.

Just to build a little on what @sihui said to help explain why you saw that behavior when you tried to display the sitemap…

  • when you save a sitemap file, openHAB tries to load the file
  • part of loading the file includes validating that the sitemap is formatted properly
  • if the sitemap is not formatted properly (which yours wasn’t), it will give up (and log an error in openhab.log)
  • at that point openHAB thinks you have no (valid) sitemaps defined

Also, you might want to consider installing VS Code with the openHAB extension. It provides assistance when editing things, items, rules, sitemaps, etc. so that you can see errors while doing the edits.
