The street was a place for squatters in the 1980s and was well known by the media when there were "battles" between the Autonomous movement and the police. Some squats still exist there, though the "80s-Myth" is dead. You can go to the Punksbar "onkel otto" or eat at the "VoKü" ("Volxküche" - a group cooking event, at which the meal is served free of charge or at cost).
Hafenstraße is a street in St. Pauli, a quarter of Hamburg, Germany, known for its legalized squats. The squats were occupied in 1981 and became a figurehead for autonomist and anti-imperialist politics. After a prolonged battle with the city council which involved demonstrations of over 10,000 people, the buildings were legalized in the 1990s. Today they are owned by a self-organised cooperative.

The epicenter of the red-light district, this short street runs parallel to Reeperbahn is closed off by gates from both ends. Adults only and photography is strictly banned.
Between Reeperbahn and Herbertstraße there's a memorial for an actor who was advertising the Kiez (Reeperbahn). Especially the movie Große Freiheit Nummer 7 helped making the Kiez famous.
