… accompany the ship into the far distance”. This Hans Albers sang as “The heart of St. Pauli”. He was at home in Hamburg-St. Pauli. Sailor’s romanticism mixes here with the harsh charm of the harbor. Situated close by is Hamburgs world-famous district with “The Reeperbahn”, where the Beatles and Tony Sheridan, among others, began their career at the “Star Club”. This quarter has a lot of interesting and amusing stories to tell. Be curious to hear them… A little further east, at the beginning of the Reeperbahn, is the Millerntor-Stadium of FC St. Pauli. A world’s famous football club of a very special kind – you might have heard about it, and it’s always worth a visit. Just a little further down the Elbe River, the new Harbor City blossoms. And right in the middle of it, Hamburg’s new landmark, the Elbphilharmonie Concert Hall, affectionately known to the citizens of Hamburg as the “Elphi”. So prepare your mobile phone and take a thousand and one pictures, because – to use words of the singer Hans Albers: “…there at the Elbe, that’s where my happiness is waiting.”
