Allow me to introduce: Cap San Diego

Our ship was commissioned in 1962 after around eleven months of construction. It was the last of a total of six identical general cargo ships that operated in liner service between Europe and South America. Southbound, machinery, technical products, and chemical products were transported, among other things. From South America, mainly raw coffee, cocoa, beef, and fruit in refrigerated compartments as well as cooking oils in heated tanks arrived. By the way, the "Cap San Diego" has never transported bananas.

The contractor of the freighter was the shipping company Hamburg Süd, which at that time belonged to the Dr. Oetker Group. All ships of this class, called "Class," were named after a geographical "Cap San ..." (or "Capo San ...") – our ship after the western tip of Tierra del Fuego, Cape San Diego.

The "Cap San Diego" was built at the Deutsche Werft in Hamburg-Finkenwerder (where the Airbus factory is located today). She and her CAP-SAN sister ships were highly modern at the time: Before the introduction of containers, goods were loaded loose in boxes, bags, or barrels. For this purpose, the ship has large cargo holds and masts with loading booms and two swing cranes. All technical facilities could be operated comfortably. The CAP-SAN ships were particularly popular among the crews and dockworkers as workplaces for this reason.

The freighter could carry up to 10,000 tons of cargo – an amount that was loaded in around seven days in general cargo operation. The same amount is now moved in containers in a maximum of eight hours. Therefore, it is hardly surprising that the "Cap San Diego" became unprofitable only a few years after its commissioning due to the beginning of container shipping. After the sale of the ship in the early 1980s, it even faced the threat of scrapping in Asia in 1986. Literally at the last moment, the "Cap San Diego" was saved through the engagement of the city of Hamburg and now lies as a true "Hamburger" at the Überseebrücke in front of the Elbphilharmonie.

Several times a year, the ship sets sail. Come on board and experience when the "Cap San Diego" comes to life. All areas of the ship are open to you, from the bridge to the engine room. The crew is happy to show and explain to you all functions of the largest seaworthy museum freighter in the world.

Only open until 4 PM

Bettina Tietjen is on the road again – and takes us along on her most exciting and funniest camping adventures! Whether on the endless roads of Australia, in the mountains of Europe, or on the coast of Brittany: With a lot of humor, charm, and an eye for the extraordinary, she talks about quirky encounters, curious experiences, and moments full of freedom.

In doing so, she not only gives insights into camper life but also reveals how to cook simply and deliciously while traveling. Bettina Tietjen, born in 1960, is a moderator and author.

Since 1993, she has been the host on the Red Sofa of the show DAS! on NDR television. Once a month, she welcomes prominent guests to the NDR talk show. Since 2020, she has also been on the road with her camper van in the series "Tietjen campt." Her books "Unter Tränen gelacht" and "Tietjen auf Tour" were both SPIEGEL bestsellers.

ANTI ALLES is not a classic chit-chat podcast – rather a sober high, where absurd everyday madness, radical honesty, and clever humor collide.

The acoustic middle finger for feeling good

ANTI ALLES features Frau Gretel – a moderator and creator with Swabian roots and Rebecca Pap – a stand-up comedian from a Catholic small town in Hesse. The experiment: the two barely know each other and invite their listeners to join them as they get to know each other piece by piece – or drive each other crazy. What connects them is a coarse humor, the same values, and an absolute allergy to modern "clean girl" perfectionism.

In ANTI ALLES, no words are held back, they are ripped apart. Garnished with a Hamburg pinch of self-irony and a Berlin tendency for refined escalation, a podcast is created that is so unfiltered that, in the end, one often does not know whether to laugh or cry.

Doors open: 6:30 PM

Many decades long, St. Pauli was the unconventional suburb of Hamburg, a harbor and entertainment district. Here, people who were not welcome within the city walls gathered. The LGBTQI+ community also felt welcome here – where the merchant's daughter could dance with the sailor, same-sex couples on the dance floor were nothing scandalous.

This neighborhood walk focuses on the persecution of the queer community during the times when Paragraph 175 was still in effect – many biographies behind stumbling stones tell stories about this. On the other hand, the community found creative loopholes, established places of encounter, and resisted discrimination. Queer individuals were and are active in sex work, as hosts, and as artists, and have made quite an impact in St. Pauli. We will look at queer places of nightlife culture from the last hundred years to today and stop for a drink at Hamburg's oldest gay bar.

Who can best introduce you to the neighborhood and the scene? The answer can only be: locals! Therefore, all St. Pauli Kiez tours are guided by residents. Because one thing we all have in common: We love this neighborhood and want to share its unique flair with you.

Please register 15 minutes before the tour starts at the reception at the Sankt Pauli Office, Wohlwillstraße 1.

The big harbor, the purchasable love, and the hope for quick money have led many on the Kiez down a crooked path. The Reeperbahn and its dark side streets have always been a scene for violence, crime, and shady businesses.

The historical crime tour takes you through a century of highly criminal events, many of which some may not remember – or want to. Discover 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 vile machinations with which greedy real estate sharks are currently overrunning the neighborhood. Your knowledgeable tour guide will lead you to crime scenes and provide a shockingly real glimpse into meticulously researched cases.

All our guides are residents and have a great love for the district.

Many delicious beers and lots of information about St. Pauli

Hamburg was once famous as the beer capital with over 750 varieties. Of course, a lot of beer was consumed in the entertainment district of St. Pauli. Until a few years ago, there were almost only the same industrially produced varieties available here. Meanwhile, there is now a colorful beer landscape.

On this tour, you will learn everything about beer and St. Pauli. Both historical facts, such as why children used to drink beer here, as well as plenty of current information. We start in the cozy salon at the St. Pauli Office, then visit the trendy new craft beer hotspots as well as rustic old pubs. Along the way, there will also be six tasting beers to sample.

But beware! This is not a drinking tour, but a sophisticated, humorous, and beer-infused walk through St. Pauli. Drunken people without manners unfortunately cannot participate.

All our guides are local residents and have a big heart for the neighborhood – and of course for beer.

Big Freedom, David Police Station, Hans-Albers-Platz, Herbertstraße, Spielbudenplatz and bar stop. Reeperbahn and scene district. The Kiez has a lot to offer: nightlife tips, history, stories, and anecdotes. We know our stuff because all our guides are residents of St. Pauli.

Our tour is historically grounded, authentic, unembellished, and individual. It does not disguise itself but is 100% authentic! The Kiez is Hamburg’s infamous nightlife and red-light district at the same time. We will show you this exciting part of St. Pauli.

Worlds collide in the Kiez: red-light on luxury hotels, alternative lifestyles on party culture, punk on pop music, suburbanites on Hamburg locals, tourists on old St. Pauli residents. It is lively and wild here. The exciting 400-year history of St. Pauli has just as much a place in our Kieztour as the focus on contemporary socio-political developments. And we don't just talk, but also — very typical of the Kiez — drink in a cozy neighborhood bar that is dear to us.

Who can best introduce you to the district and the Kiez? The answer can only be: people from here! That’s why all St. Pauli Kieztours are led by locals. We all share one thing in common: We love this district and want to share its unique flair with you. Of course, we also have plenty of insider tips in store.

We will take you to the well-known landmarks from radio and television that fuel the cliché of the most sinful mile in the world with a party atmosphere. But just as much, we will tell you about the corners that make up today’s livable and lovable St. Pauli for us. Small sensations and big stories.

Please register 15 minutes before the tour starts at the reception at the St. Pauli Office, Wohlwillstraße 1.
