True Crime Hamburg

What's the walk about?

Welcome to St. Pauli, Hamburg's legendary harbour district of neon lights, rock'n'roll history and ships gliding past on the Elbe. But behind the glitter of the Reeperbahn and the postcard views of the port lie darker stories: biker feuds, a notorious serial killer, a mysterious club fire and riots on the waterfront. Our journey begins here at the Millerntor, where the Reeperbahn starts and where, one summer night in 2018, a routine stop at a red light turned into an ambush.
