The Kiez-Kapitän Reeperbahn tour through the history of St. Pauli shows you the "sinful mile". The very personal tour for everyone who wants to get to know the real St. Pauli.
Since 2012 I have been traveling as a tour guide for you on the popular tours over the Reeperbahn and through Hamburg. And since 1982 as a little "butcher" on St. Pauli between Astra-Kisten, Hafenstrasse and Millerntorstadion.
On the Kiez-Kapitän Reeperbahn tours there is everything about the history of the Hamburger Berg, Herbertstraße and prostitution on St. Pauli, Danes in Altona, the cult bar "Zur Ritze" and the gang wars in the 1980s, Hans Albers, the Beatles in the Great Freedom, Freddy Quinn and the "big city area" of the Davidwache.
There is much more to discover here than just the "sinful mile"!
The Kiez-Kapitän tours are suitable for adults and young people.

What To Expect
Polizeikommissariat 15 Davidwache
The world-famous police station in the middle of the Reeperbahn. Nice brick building with a lot of history and stories.
Herbertstrasse is reserved for prostitutes. Here the "sinful mile" is still alive and the passage for women who do not work there is still forbidden.

Great Kiez tour with the friendly Kiez captain

5.00It was a nice tour of St. Pauli. We four liked it very much. Even as a Hamburger from the Old Land, it was many places and stories that Jens showed us with his knowledge. We are planning more tours with Jens!
Interesting detailed tour

5.00We really enjoyed the tour. Above all, we liked the fact that St.Pauli was not only reduced to "the one thing", but we also got to know other aspects of this fascinating neighborhood. You can feel that the Führer is at home here and got to know the neighborhood from a young age. We think the lead stands out from the sometimes somewhat shrill competition.
Very positive, gladly again !

5.00It gave me pleasure to hear the anecdotes of Jens onwards, which do not reveal themselves through a travel book
