Sankt Pauli Bier Tour - die Astra Story - Die Kult-Bier-Tour der Kiezjungs

St. Pauli Beer Tour – A journey through the brewing history of the neighborhood

Our tour starts right at the Hard Rock Cafe Hamburg – in the middle of the Landungsbrücken, where harbor air, wanderlust and beer tradition meet.

Together we'll raise a glass of ASTRA and delve into the history of a beer inextricably linked to St. Pauli. You'll learn how the beer once accompanied the hard daily lives of dockworkers – and why it remains as much a part of the neighborhood as the cobblestones and neon lights.

From there, we stroll through St. Pauli and embark on a journey back in time to the district's golden era. Our guides don't tell stories from a history book, but from real life – with North German wit, honest anecdotes, and a glimpse behind the scenes of the neighborhood.

A key part of the tour is the legendary St. Pauli pub, Zur Ritze. Here, you'll have exclusive access to the famous boxing cellar – a place where world champions trained and local legends made history. And of course, you'll enjoy a genuine Munich Helles – the signature beer of the "Ritze." Why a Bavarian beer in the heart of St. Pauli? We'll explain that on site.

The grand finale takes you to the Astra Brauhaus on Nobistor . Here you'll sample three different craft beer specialties – brewed by hand, given a modern twist, yet deeply rooted in the neighborhood. A fascinating contrast between tradition and modernity, history and contemporary culture.

SCHAU!

The exhibition “SCHAU!” at nachtspeicher23 features drawings and video works that have been displayed in the project space’s shop window over the past few months.

In May, June and July 2026, a total of three drawing duos were exhibited as part of the INSIDE DRAFTSWOMEN series. Initiated by Christine Brey, the series has, since 2019, served as a platform for contemporary drawing and fosters dialogue between different artistic positions and perspectives.

The shop window was also used as an exhibition space for media art. The video works, curated by Faezeh Nikoozad, bring together pieces that deliberately operate without sound and explore the theme of encounter – whether as a gaze, distance, closeness or silent coexistence. In doing so, the shop window itself became a place of encounter between the inside and the outside.

What previously complemented one another through the changing shop window displays now comes together in this exhibition. The juxtaposition of drawing and video opens up a space in which different temporalities and modes of perception no longer merely coexist. In this interplay, new encounters and connections emerge – between the artistic positions as well as between medium, gaze and space – which shift and renegotiate one another.

As part of Hamburg Art Week, the works are now being presented together for the first time in the exhibition space. On display are works by Vanessa Hartmann, Si-Ying Fung, Sylvie Ringer, Simone Kesting, Nazgol Emami, Sana Ghobbeh, Amirali Ghasemi, Sin Seeni, Simin Yaqubi and a special guest.

There will also be a performance by Lubi Barre, which forms part of the ‘PULSE’ performance programme (Sat 5 Sept at 7 pm):

‘The Mona Lisa Syndrome’ is a literary installation with a live reading that explores the intertwining of childhood, migration, memory and motherhood through personal memories, diaries, photographs, objects and audio recordings. Taking as its starting point a trip to Paris with her sons, the work shows how different childhoods persist simultaneously across generations and geographical spaces, whilst shaping one another.

The annual programme at nachtspeicher23 is funded by the Department of Culture and Media of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg.
