Overview

More than a matchday.

FC St. Pauli is one of the most distinctive football clubs in the world. Based in the heart of Hamburg's St. Pauli district, the club is known for football, culture, independence and identity.

Home matches take place at the Millerntor-Stadion, a compact and atmospheric ground in the middle of the city. A matchday here feels louder, more colourful and more politically charged than most in German football.

Tickets

Demand is consistently high.

Getting There

One of Germany's most walkable grounds.

From Hamburg Airport, take the S-Bahn S1 to Hamburg Hauptbahnhof, then continue by U3 to St. Pauli or by S-Bahn to Reeperbahn.

From Hamburg Central Station, take the U3 one stop to St. Pauli. Walking via the Reeperbahn takes around 20 minutes.

Parking is very limited. Public transport or walking is strongly recommended.

Before The Match

Arrive in the district early.

Arriving 90–120 minutes before kick-off gives you time to explore St. Pauli, visit the fan shop or museum, enjoy nearby bars and soak in the atmosphere around the ground.

The Jolly Roger

The skull-and-crossbones flag is the symbol most associated with FC St. Pauli globally and appears throughout the stadium, district and matchday culture.

Inside The Stadium

Close to the pitch. Close to the culture.

The Millerntor is compact by modern standards, meaning you are always close to the pitch. Shortly before kick-off, the stadium builds around songs, flags and the club anthem “Hein Lehmann”.
