I removed
in reference to strip clubs, sex shops, brothels and the like. Some of the strip clubs are popular among Hamburgers (Dollhouse), and live sex shows aren't available anywhere else in Germany, so they can hardly be called "overpriced". I don't know if the Reeperbahn brothels are more expensive than the ones elsewhere in Hamburg (which is in general an expensive city), but I would be interested in any reports to that effect.

Sorry about removing image - not free license (was copied from German wp a long time ago in belief it was PD). Justinc 00:32, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
I love Reeperbahn. I have partied there on several occassions. Who doesn't love Reeperbahnschlampe? Hehe..-CW 70.26.11.45 07:14, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
It is more expensive and the service is far lower on the reeperbahn brothels than elsewere in hamburg.The same counts for herbertstrasse.The whole area is targeting one day tourists,and dont care so much about service/price.Also be very awake in the strip clubs.Pay drinks immediatly,collect the bills for paying,dont give drinks to the girls.Dont be afraid of contacting the german police if you have problems of any kind in these places in the reeperbahn area.Walk out if problems,dont care bout the big doormen etc,they dont like having problems with the police too.Its to expensive for the place. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.215.95.205 (talk) 09:30, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
re the quote - "I might have been born in Liverpool - but I grew up in Hamburg" I think thats from the lengthy BBC radio 1 interview shortly before he died, but i dont have a direct reference —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paraphrased (talk • contribs) 19:11, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
The article reads "The Große Freiheit ("Great Freedom") is a cross street on the North Side with several bars and clubs, a Catholic church and street prostitution."
I live near the Reeperbahn and I used to visit the club/disco at Große Freiheit 36 weekly for over 7 years, yet I've never seen a single street prostitute in Große Freiheit. It is indeed limited to the south side of Reeperbahn. I have therefore removed the mentioning of street prostitution from the above sentence. --80.171.170.54 23:32, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
There actually is some street prostitution (seems to be limited to transgenders) in the nearby "Schmuckstraße" just around the corner from Große Freiheit 36. Local newspaper Hamburger Abendblatt has an article about it, http://www.abendblatt.de/daten/2005/02/05/395538.html it's quite outdated, though still valid. I too live near Reeperbahn and can verify it (so can almost any resident in the area). 91.64.3.33 (talk) 15:22, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
Not too sure about the club listing. Clubs, sex shops, etc. around Reeperbahn change occasionally. Maybe it should be limited to the long-standing ones, like Große Freiheit 36 which has been around for so long that I'm a 2nd generation regular. :-)
I've removed the kir, because as you can verify on their webpage, the kir is not located on or near Reeperbahn. I don't know if it ever was, definitely not at any time during the past 4-5 years.

I agree. This is supposed to be an encyclopedia, not the Yellow Pages. Bermicourt (talk) 23:55, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
The Reeperbahn cannot genuinely be placed as the "red light district". There is a street that runs perpendicular to the Reeperbahn called Herbert Strasse which, up until recently, only allowed men pass through but now has reclaimed the ban and set it to under aged minors. This is the street where prostitutes are available (with plently of red lights) hence the name 'red light district'. However, other prostitutes do glamour themselves on the reeperbahn, but then take customers back to Herbert strasse. The street is noticeable to tourists because there are two great walls shielding young impressioned minds from seeing the ongoing activities. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 89.100.39.45 (talk) 01:51, 12 March 2007 (UTC).
I suggest we move the station section to a separate article under the Wiki Trains Project. Any objections? Bermicourt (talk) 23:55, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
the term sex museum is just wrong, in fact it WAS a museum about erotic art. and it closed 2007, so the article is outdated for 4 years now --178.27.40.210 (talk) 17:11, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Can anyone explain the motivation for deleting a great many items here? Why are some songs etc. deemed more worth mentioning than others? Sleitfelt, how is that you agree precisely with Nikkimaria about what should be deleted? Obviously I'm not trying to start a battle, just intrigued that two people feel so strongly that some information should be withheld, and that they both agree about exactly which. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tdls (talk • contribs) 17:45, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
