For many decades, St. Pauli was Hamburg's unconventional suburb, a port and entertainment district. This was where people who were not wanted 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 disreputable.
This district tour is about the persecution of the queer community during the times when Paragraph 175 was still in force - many biographies behind stumbling blocks tell stories about this. On the other hand, the community found creative loopholes, established meeting places and resisted discrimination. Queer people were and are active in sex work, as hosts and artists and have made a difference in St. Pauli. We look at queer places in the nightlife culture of the last hundred years up to the present day and stop for a drink in the oldest gay bar in Hamburg.
