everyone under 18 had to leave. and we found ways to get back into the kitchen once they caught us again. but less conformist teenagers remain choosy and on what days hardly anyone came. the rock and pop stars became more expensive in 1969 the star-club closed deep in debt. but. the building of the star-club was later demolished and the courtyard of the new building you will find this plaque. probably is still one of the most famous districts of hamburg famous and notorious here you will find pubs and grand feeders a red light district and culture and all of it not far from the elba.

hole the even has a small museum where you can find out what has shaped the district. polly was originally a border region between the danish city of i do not and they have the attic city of hamburg residents here knew how to use this kind of free space dance halls and cheap entertainment have for the part of the since the 17th century similar. image of prostitution crime evolved over the years. some to is in constant flux i'd say the red light district image which now plays a role in many tourists perceptions and in marketing strategies it's very much influenced by the 1970 s. and eighty's. and. lots of clichés emerge that. were for example the gold chains mullet hairdos and so on and on survivor. nobody

pays so with these cliches they try to attract tourists by saying we have a red light district we have gangsters that might interest some people but only i think so. we have the sump polly museum don't think of ourselves in that while we try to present everything in the development of the district and we try to enable visitors to understand how certain myths were formed in pushed into written off and some are just myths and some are cliches and even she's. challenger that the museum shows portraits of women who have shaped. but some didn't so what did they do to earn a place on the wall. and here we see susie rich she and her husband own susie show bar and i think it's the only table dancing establishment under female management to get. to him and i find that quite important finish from the top does have business run differently they say so as

a better or worse farah what the women who work there say is clear yes yes. it is there anything you would like to see changes from. time to just right now i want to stop rents from rising so it remains possible for these things to develop nice shoes and spaces where unusual concepts still have a chance and that's. why i'm a new place and wouldn't have been here concept i don't look at the top dollar wise i think we should all recognize the value of a district that has experienced so much freedom and retained it over the centuries that it's special and the liberties we have are worth protecting. it is and so it's . done cranks that sums it up nicely. we regularly visit spectators who show us the sights of their hometowns in today's media local thought we went to houston texas it's the 4th largest city in the united states and it bourse interesting

3:08 pm
the 7th of may on that day in the year 1189. is said to have issued a license for the port and that's a pretty good reason to celebrate say over $1000000.00 visitors every year. even if the charter founding the port is a 13th century forgery people have been celebrating it since 1977 the birthday bash attracts locals and visitors to the elba for 3 days. you know it isn't everyone's always and it could mean it's always relaxed and handed as always with seeing and off the ship it's great to climb on to the vessels and see how things work on the tall ships he does a lot for his all serious i thought everything the port the atmosphere water the sea ships. the

ports anniversary traditionally begins with the grand arrival parade with vessels ranging from motor boats to tall ships and all more than $300.00 ships come to the festival every year. but that was the specter. well it stands on to land where it's concerts on stages and vendors selling arts and crafts and food. shopping. among the festivals highlights is the traditional tugboat ballet with skipper's acting as choreographers. it. supports origins may be veiled in mystery but the people of this hanseatic city make the most of it with maritime displays and celebrations every year.

you can also take a dip in hamburg's river after years of pollution the water quality of the elder is clean enough to swim in bathing in the elbe it has a long tradition it specially during the 19th century journalist and author has already written 2 books about it like many locals she's a fan of the river. what moves you to swim in the elba every day this is nonsense. every day i was like it's a great pleasure it's just wonderful. elderlies at my doorstep i can go in it when i want i can do what i want in the air almost everything else and essential as experience the water in the flowing streaming rising and falling water i enjoyed immensely but what should i keep in mind when getting into the water there was
3:11 pm
certainly a few dangers as among the i said you have to be able to swim extremely well beginner's training is not enough. you should also be able to feel the river bed under your feet then you're basically safe that way you can always scramble out of the water if you need to. you shouldn't get too near the shipping channels you should swim when the water is rising because then it's coming in from the sea and at least feels cleaner than when it's ebbing and coming from the port not purely of course never when drunk and not in a thunderstorm all the traditional swimming rules that apply to lakes also apply here would not be all these were here in the album there are certainly other people to do you think this is a new trend to get. i hope the custom of swimming in the album returns. since german reunification many sewage treatment plants have been built in eastern germany and the water has become much cleaner and i feel for 20 or 30 years it was really. i think the idea of having nature at your doorstep on the outskirts of
3:12 pm
a city with a population of millions and being able to use it out should be revived and then more and more people can see how lovely. the american beaches in hamburg have lots of visitors and that weekends in the summer and during school holidays there are many tourists. and most know that the water ebbs and flows and avoid lying too close to the edge when the water is rising and. makes so now about all of us are. already. and what do you wish for the future should be areas be developed more or do you have a concrete vision for how you see your city of hamburg and. from there yes i think it would be great to rethink been planning so that when something new is built in that spirit takes the elbow into account says the river remains accessible though of course making sure the city remains protected as well. light light side. should
