Herbertstraße

Reeperbahn

About

This street in the heart of Hamburg's red-light district is one of the city's most infamous addresses. Small traders used to do business here in the 19th century, but the horizontal trade which now dominates the district has made them disappear one by one. Nowadays, this little lane off Davidstraße is lined by establishments where sparsely-dressed girls sit in dimly-lit windows awaiting male customers. When it gets dark, the red street lamps and lingerie add an almost romantic feel to the place. Not every customer is welcome here - drunkards and those looking for a fight quickly find themselves cooled off by a bucket full of water, and there is no access to Herbertstraße for women!
