True crime tour

As Europe's largest entertainment district, St. Pauli has always been a magical attraction for crime of all kinds.

On the St. Pauli true crime tour you will learn more about the connections, whether gambling, drugs or prostitution. There were criminals with connections to the Mafia in the USA, petty criminals or psychopathic female murderers. Come along to the crime scenes and hear the stories behind them. And crime exists today too, even if it is on a different scale.

The Tour

The big harbor, venal love and the hope for the quick mark have brought not a few on the Kiez on the wrong track. The Reeperbahn and its dark side streets have always been the scene of violence, crime and sinister dealings. The historical crime tour leads through a century of highly criminal events that some people can't even remember - or don't want to. Learn where the psychopathic serial killer Fritz Honka looked for his victims, walk in the footsteps of the brutal pimp wars of the 1980s, and hear about the nasty dealings that greedy real estate sharks are pulling over the neighborhood today. Your tour guide will knowledgeably lead you to crime scenes and give you a frighteningly real view of precisely researched cases.

The Guides

All guides are residents and have a big heart for the neighborhood.
