On this legendary party square there is a real shooting party atmosphere in the evening. Each of the numerous bars and pubs is packed on weekends.
The Hans-Albers-Platz in Hamburg is named after Hans Albers, a theater, film actor and singer known from radio and television. He celebrated great successes in the last century. Among others with the films "Große Freiheit Nr. 7", "Auf der Reeperbahn nachts um halb eins" and the "Herz von St. Pauli". In 1964, four years after the death of the popular folk actor, Wilhelmsplatz was renamed Hans-Albers-Platz. Sometimes the square is also called "Kleiner Kiez".
Bronze Statue
Since 1986, an almost three meter high bronze Hans-Albers statue of the artist Jörg Immendorff has been standing in the middle of the square. After a dispute with the Hamburg Senate, Immendorf had the sculpture removed from its pedestal after nine years and transported to Düsseldorf. The Senate finally ordered a copy from Immendorff. So the original sculpture is now in the Media Harbour in Düsseldorf and the copy can be viewed today on Hans-Albers-Platz in St. Pauli.
