Description
For many decades, St. Pauli was Hamburg's unconventional suburb, a harbor and entertainment district. People who were not welcome within the city walls gathered here. 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 not scandalous.
This neighborhood tour is about the persecution of the queer community during the times when Paragraph 175 was still in effect. On the other hand, the community found creative loopholes, established meeting places, and resisted discrimination. Queer people worked and still work in sex work, as hosts, and as artists, and have made a significant impact in St. Pauli. We will look at queer venues of nightlife culture from the last hundred years to the present day and stop for a drink at Hamburg's oldest gay bar.
