Podcast Tour Hamburg: The Rebellious Heart of St. Pauli

1 hour 41 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: German and 1 more

Forget the tourist traps, the cheap thrills, and the bachelor parties. Under the flashing neon lights of the Reeperbahn lies a wild, unpolished, and deeply political district that has been fighting for its soul for decades. On this captivating tour, you will discover the hidden duality of St. Pauli. We follow his development from the rough sailor's knot to the dark incubator for rock'n'roll legends and further to the modern battlefield for housing rights and anti-fascist resistance. This is a journey into the underworld, to the occupied houses, the legendary dive bars, and the concrete bunkers that make up the true, rebellious heart of Hamburg.
