As soon as the sun goes down, Hans-Albers-Platz comes to life. Named after the legendary Hamburg singer, theatre and film actor Hans Albers, the square is surrounded by lively bars and pubs and is an integral part of Hamburg's nightlife.

The atmosphere is exuberant and provides the perfect backdrop to immerse yourself in Hamburg's nightlife. Not far from the Reeperbahn, the square is also sometimes called the "Kleiner Kiez".

Bronze statue

A bronze statue of Hans Albers, almost three metres tall, by artist Jörg Immendorff has stood in the middle of the square since 1986. After a dispute with the Hamburg Senate, Immendorf had the sculpture removed from its plinth nine years later and transported to Düsseldorf. The Senate eventually ordered a copy from Immendorff. The original sculpture now stands in Düsseldorf's Media Harbour and the copy can now be viewed on Hans-Albers-Platz in St. Pauli.

Dancing and drinking near the Reeperbahn

Hans-Albers-Platz is located directly on Hamburg's Reeperbahn and not far from Grosse Freiheit and Hamburger Berg. Among other things, the corner is home to the La Paloma bar, named after one of Albers' film hits. The Hans-Albers-Klause also plays rock songs from past decades. Live music is often played in Molly Malone and the neighbouring Drafthouse. At 20 flight Rock, fans of the 1950s party to a mixture of rockabilly and rock & roll.

In summer, the square is lined with beer benches, the pubs are packed with visitors from all over the world and the atmosphere is lively.
