For many years, St. Pauli has been known as the unique suburb of Hamburg, serving as both a port and an entertainment hub. It became a gathering place for those not accepted within the city limits. The LGBTQI+ community found a welcoming environment here, where a merchant’s daughter could dance with a sailor, and same-sex couples could enjoy the dance floor without judgment.

The ES district tour highlights the persecution of the queer community during the era of Section 175. Despite this, the community discovered creative ways to circumvent restrictions, established meeting places, and stood against discrimination. Queer individuals have historically been involved in sex work, as hosts, and as artists, significantly impacting St. Pauli. The tour explores queer nightlife culture from the past century to today, including a stop for a drink at Hamburg’s oldest gay bar.
