Planning your visit

The FC St. Pauli Museum is unlike other football museums because the club is unlike other clubs. St Pauli plays in a working-class Hamburg district next to the Reeperbahn, and since the 1980s its support has been explicitly left-wing and anti-fascist, adopting the skull and crossbones as an unofficial emblem and organising around anti-racism, anti-homophobia and neighbourhood politics as much as around results. The club has, at times, been better known internationally for that than for its football.

The museum, opened in 2012 by the fan-run association that created it, occupies over 600 square metres inside the Millerntor stadium and reflects that history: original artefacts, banners, fanzines, installations on fan culture and on the campaigns the supporters have run, alongside the club's sporting record. It is a museum made by supporters about themselves, which gives it an unusual voice — partisan, self-aware, and considerably more interesting than an official club history.

The Millerntor and the surrounding district are worth walking regardless, and the contrast between the stadium's atmosphere and the commercial football elsewhere in Germany is the point.

The main booking is an entrance ticket, with stadium tours available separately. Current availability is listed below.
