Your experience begins right in front of the legendary Hard Rock Cafe at the St. Pauli Landungsbrücken, with a welcome drink in hand and the harbor at your back. From here, we'll take you on a fascinating journey through the past and present of Hamburg's red-light district.
As you walk along the famous Herbertstraße—which is accessible only to men—you'll learn more about the historic red-light area, which has been part of the Reeperbahn for over a century. Continue to the world-famous Davidwache—arguably Germany's most prominent police station, immortalized in numerous films and series.
But the red-light district is more than just nightlife: Our tour also sheds light on its historical roots. The name "Reeperbahn" comes from the so-called "Reepschläger" (rope makers), who made ropes and cords for large sailing ships here in the 17th century. For centuries, St. Pauli was the home of dockworkers, sailors, and shipwrecked people—a place where stories were born and cultures collided.
Discover why this district is a place of freedom, change, and contrasts – from the past to the present. Be captivated by exciting anecdotes about sailors, underworld figures, music legends like the Beatles, and the unique development of this fascinating area.
The tour concludes with a journey into the heart of the red-light district – past well-known locations, hidden corners, and everything that makes St. Pauli so special.

FAQs about the Kiez & Red Light tour
Typically, you'll stroll through the red light district in a relaxed group of about 20 to 25 people. This keeps things personal, and you'll understand everything well—while still having enough space to laugh, marvel, and ask questions.
Our Kiez tour is generally intended for adults – 18 years and older. In exceptional cases, 16- to 17-year-olds may also participate, but only if accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
To participate in our red light district tour, you must register in advance – this is the only way we can ensure that everyone understands and doesn't miss anything.
Sure, feel free to snap photos of St. Pauli—there are plenty of quirky and exciting subjects here! But please steer clear of photos of the ladies of the trade or their "managers." That can quickly get you into trouble. So: Snap with respect, and you'll be fine with the red light district!
The tour starts every Friday and Saturday at 9:00 PM – right on time, like a good Kiez story begins!
We recommend arriving at the meeting point about 15 minutes early.
Of course! Women and people of all gender identities are welcome. Only on Herbertstraße: At the request of the ladies working there, we ask female guests to walk around the outside – accompanied by your guide, of course.
