Dhe Hamburgers have a mixed relationship with the street, which is better known in the rest of the world than the city itself. If you ask someone over thirty if they would like to go on a tour of the neighborhood on Saturday evening, you get a frown and a shake of the head in response, true to the motto , the former Hamburg Senator for the Interior and later Federal Chancellor Helmut Schmidt once said: “A Hamburger does not go to the Reeperbahn!”

On the other hand, every Hanseatic, no matter how Hanseatic, has a story with this mile, which mostly takes place in youth and has something to do with alcohol (a lot!), sex shops (forbidden!), love (desperate!) and music (depending on taste) has to do. Generations of Hamburg families have tasted the nightlife on the Reeperbahn for the first time, celebrated, drunk and danced: Grandpa in his sixties in the Star Club at the Beatles and Little Richard, the parents in the nineties to dancefloor jazz at Mojo Club and the kids today to deep house at Moondoo.
