Talk:Reeperbahn

I removed

Today almost all of them are overpriced tourist traps.

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.

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)[reply]

Große Freiheit

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)[reply]

Clubs

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.
