About this place Frauenkneipe

Frauenkneipe — literally "women's pub" — has been operating in Hamburg since 1977, making it the oldest lesbian bar in Germany and one of the oldest in Europe. The venue has maintained a women-only door policy throughout its history, providing a space that is primarily for lesbian and queer women but which has always reflected the complexity of what that means. The bar is a community institution rather than a nightlife venue: its function is social, political, and cultural as much as it is about drinking. Regular events include live music, political discussions, women's network evenings, film screenings and the annual Hamburg Dyke March gathering. The Altona location is slightly removed from the St Georg cluster but is accessible by S-Bahn and has its own neighbourhood character — Altona is one of Hamburg's most politically active and community-oriented districts. For lesbian and queer women visitors to Hamburg, Frauenkneipe is the essential stop: a living piece of feminist and lesbian cultural history that remains entirely functional and relevant.

Even behind the bar people are smoking... And well, even without smoke you get claustrophobic inside.

Great club with nice people. The service is excellent and you simply feel very comfortable.

We spent three days in Hamburg and wanted to experience St. Pauli. Wunderbar was on our list, and we went there on our first evening. A great decision! Okay, it was Sunday night, so it wasn't too crowded, but that made it pleasant and easy to have a conversation. The bartender, Markus, was very friendly and competent. He handled all the guests' requests with ease, even managing a birthday party. We had a lovely evening and came back the next day. The bar is really nice and, from what we experienced, a great place to party and meet new people.
