The docks are known far beyond Hamburg's city limits. Stars from all over the world have already performed on the stage of the music club. Centrally located on the Reeperbahn, the Docks is the place to go for music-loving night owls.

Formerly a movie theater, the Saal at Spielbudenplatz became a fixture in Hamburg's pop music scene in the late 1980s/early 1990s, first as "Knopf's Music Hall," then as Docks. Hamburg's largest music club impresses with its varied stage program. International and national artists delight their audiences at Docks. The list of big names who have already performed here is long and constantly growing. However, the focus of every event is the guests, who can look forward to unforgettable nights. On weekends, changing DJs transform the Docks into a temple of dance.
