If you plan a unique way to tour Germany and you happen to be a music fanatic, then Hamburg would be one ideal destination you can go to. More than the metropolitan tours and the harbour excursions, one nostalgic activity that you can do in the second largest city of Germany is to tour Reeperbahn in St.Pauli. Why so? The place just so happens to be the district where the iconic Fab Four, The Beatles, started their career which led them to reform the music industry as we know it today.
Hamburg features many tourism spots which includes historical establishments and museum attractions. Many tourists visit the city for musicals, sporting events, and conventions. A well established luxurious sporting event is the German Poker Tour. Given the online boom of poker in Europe during the mid-2000s, the number of grand poker events has increased and the GPT is joined by other prestigious competitions like the partypoker World Poker Tour and the European Poker Tour. All the tours and events aside, it’s actually the historic Beatles-Hamburg tours that are currently buzzing on the internet.
And what better way to experience a Beatles Tour in Hamburg than this 2013. It was this year that the iconic band is celebrating their 50th anniversary since the release of their first album Please Please Me. As TravelRadio.tv explains, “it was in Hamburg, the maritime jewel in northern Germany, where the Fab Four began their career as the not so fab five, and recorded their first commercially released record, ‘My Bonnie’, on June 22/23, 1961.” It was in Hamburg as well that the band, who Time Magazine recognized as one of the most influential people of the 20th century, learned and grew as musical artists. “Thanks to a well-known night club owner who needed musical acts for his clubs in the infamous St. Pauli red light district, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Stuart Sutcliffe and drummer Pete Best had come to Hamburg a year earlier. The rest, as they say, is history,” TraveRadio furthers.
For the English rock band who initiated the “British Invasion” of the US pop scene, it was the red light district on St.Pauli that served as their learning ground both in music and in life. “Hamburg made stars out of The Beatles, got them their signature hair style, and the Fab Four never tired of stressing how important those early days in the northern German music metropolis were,” TravelRadio writes.
To travel to Germany and get a glimpse of the history of the most revered band of all time is certainly a unique experience.
