The city tour leads from the Landungsbrücken to St. Pauli, to Davidstraße and Herbertstraße. From Hans-Albers-Platz, it goes to the fish market and the fish auction hall up to the fishing harbor:The harbor is a male domain, so it is said. But women have been working in the Hamburg harbor and in St. Pauli for a long time. They are angels, innkeepers, prostitutes, and street workers. They can also be found on ships and in shipyards. We learn about what women move and achieve, on cranes, in clubs, and in fish halls, and we take a look at the large murals of the FrauenFreiluftGalerie.This city tour is about hard women’s work in the fishing industry, in shipyards, and in shipping companies, about prostitution in St. Pauli, as well as about innkeepers like Erna from Silbersack and the social worker Domenica.
