Many decades ago, St. Pauli was the unconventional suburb of Hamburg, a harbor and entertainment district. Here, people who were not welcome within the city walls gathered. The LGBTQI+ community also felt welcome here – where the merchant's daughter could dance with the sailor, same-sex couples on the dance floor were nothing scandalous.

This neighborhood tour focuses on the persecution of the queer community during the times when Paragraph 175 was still in effect – many biographies behind stumbling stones tell stories about this. On the other hand, the community found creative loopholes, established meeting places, and resisted discrimination. Queer people have been and are active in sex work, as hosts, and as artists, and they have made quite an impact in St. Pauli. We will look at queer places in the nightlife culture of the last hundred years to the present day and stop for a drink in the oldest gay bar in Hamburg.

Who can best introduce you to the neighborhood and the district? The answer can only be: people from here! Therefore, all St. Pauli Kiez tours are guided by residents. Because one thing we all have in common is: We love this neighborhood and want to share its unique flair with you.

Please register 15 minutes before the tour starts at the reception at the Sankt Pauli Office, Wohlwillstraße 1.
