St. Pauli Queertour – 100 Years of Pride in St. Pauli

Description

For many decades, St. Pauli was Hamburg's unconventional suburb, harbor and entertainment district. Here, people who were not welcome within the city walls gathered. The LGBTQI+ community also felt at home here – where the merchant's daughter could dance with the sailor, same-sex couples on the dance floor were nothing scandalous. This city tour is about the persecution of the queer community during the times when Paragraph 175 was still in effect – many biographies behind stumbling stones tell stories about it. On the other hand, the community found creative loopholes, established meeting places, and resisted discrimination. Queer people have been active in sex work, as hosts and artists, and have made a difference on St. Pauli. We will look at queer places of nightlife culture from the last hundred years to today and stop for a drink at Hamburg's oldest gay bar. Who can best introduce you to the neighborhood and the Kiez? The answer can only be: locals! Therefore, all St. Pauli Kiez tours are led by residents. Because we all share one thing: we love this neighborhood and want to share its unique flair with you. Additional information:
Please register 15 minutes before the tour starts at the reception at Sankt Pauli Office, Wohlwillstraße 1.
