St. Pauli

The district extends along the Elbe River with the Reeperbahn street as its central axis, featuring numerous theaters, music venues, and nightclubs.

The area developed in the 17th century as 'Hamburger Berg' outside Hamburg's gates, initially housing rope makers who required extensive space for their craft.

The district gained international recognition when The Beatles performed regularly at local venues between 1960 and 1962, shaping their early musical career.

Visitors can reach St. Pauli through multiple public transit options, including the U3 subway line at St. Pauli station and S1 train at Reeperbahn station.

The Hamburg DOM, Germany's largest public festival, takes place three times annually at Heiligengeistfeld, attracting millions of visitors with rides and entertainment.
