St Georg District

Ironically, the most sensual and intense district in the heart of Hamburg bears the name of a saint. This apparent contradiction is characteristic of Saint Georg. The residents call their district a 'world village'. On just 1.8 square kilometres, in a crossover of cultures, a unique scene has developed, both explosive and fascinating. St Georg is quirky and sinful, chic and gay, and always good for sensational headlines.

Mönckebergstrasse

Mönckebergstraße

Mönckebergstraße, or just Mö for short, is Hamburg’s major shopping street. Until 1907, this area between the main train station and the City Hall was known as Gägenviertel; here, the city's poorer residents lived on narrow streets with half-timbered houses. When Mönckebergstraße was constructed, Hamburg's administration created the boulevard that could best represent the pride and economic power of the Hanseatic city. Even today, this boulevard displays an impressive variety of large department stores, fashion boutiques, retail shops, cafés and food stalls. The Levantehaus is among the city’s smallest and finest shopping arcades.
