St. Pauli is more than just a district in Hamburg—it’s a place unlike anywhere else in the world. The people who live here follow their own rules, because on the boundary between the red light scene and the underworld, everyone is free to be whoever or whatever they want. Denmark, with its liberal influence, has played its part in shaping this unique culture.
