American Reacts To My FIRST TIME on The Reeperbahn Completely Changed How I View Germany 

7:25 *Leberkäse* is a speciality from Germany. There are veery many different versions of it. Some include onions, others have cheese or some are *Pizza* style with cheese, tomatoe, onions, etc.. Below picture of a Pizza Fleischkäse i.ibb.co/b24dmb6/Pizza-Leberkaese.jpg

Not to forget the other legendary song about the Reeperbahn was made by Udo Lindenberg about how it has changed from when he was young. It's really some historical street.

@@4Astaroth Yeah, you're right. Thanks for the addition.

that makes a lot of sense though

@@Pjalphareacting The fact that the guy in the commentary about the club scene said that the Elbphilharmonie (the concert hall) doesn't belong to Hamburg makes me sad. I used to work there and for me, it's a great place. I would be happy if you would consider watching a video about it :) Since you are also a musician, it would definitely be interesting for you. And it's one of the best concert halls in Europe. The reason why some people don't like the concert hall is that it cost a lot and took a long time to build. Over time, this controversy has died down, and most people like it now, but there are still some who always have to emphasize that it's unnecessary. But I think if you have no interest or love for music in general, you just can't see the use or point of a building like this. Also, some people are complaining, but they have never really been there. Everyone has other things in life that they find useful. I loved to work there, and it has such a wide range of concert formats, not only classic. And the tickets are relatively cheap, especially for young people. There is a wide range of workshops and participatory projects for children and families, too.

@Nangijala-rr2bd Americans : What do you mean - a knife ? Don't they have guns or AR-15's ?

But let's not fool ourselves: even legal prostitution is linked with human trafficking and forced prostitution. There might be a handful of women who like this kind of 'job', most women don't. And I don't understand why a lot of men don't seem to have a problem to make 'business' with an unwilling partner. I don't get it. I'd be glad if we followed the Scandinavian (?) model to incriminate the customers.

@@KoenigTamar I dont think thats fair

I asked ChatGPT4 to make a decision. To either criminalize or legalize prostitution worldwide and explain its decision.@@KoenigTamar CHATGPT: If I were to make a decision on this complex issue, I would choose to globally legalize prostitution. This decision is based on the consideration of various factors: Public Health: Legalization allows for better regulation of the sex industry, which can lead to improved health outcomes. When prostitution is legal, sex workers can access healthcare, regular health check-ups, and information about safe sex practices more easily. This can lead to a decrease in sexually transmitted infections, as seen in studies conducted in countries where prostitution is legalized​​. Safety and Reduction of Violence: Legalization can provide a safer environment for sex workers. Studies have shown a correlation between legalization and a decrease in sexual violence and exploitation, as it can reduce the stigma associated with sex work and improve the working conditions of sex workers​​​​. Human Rights and Empowerment: By legalizing prostitution, sex workers are recognized as legitimate workers who have rights. This can empower them to seek legal protection, unionize, and advocate for their rights and well-being. Control and Reduction of Sex Trafficking: Legalization and regulation of the sex industry can make it easier for authorities to distinguish between consenting sex workers and victims of trafficking. This can aid in more effectively combating sex trafficking. Economic Benefits: Legalization can bring economic benefits, such as taxation of the sex industry, which can be reinvested in health and social programs, including those that benefit sex workers.

@@sebastianliebmann6014 Not fair? The whole business is not fair. And don't get me wrong: I had high hopes for change when the current framework was introduced. I really thought it could change the game for the better. But that was an illusion. Prostitution is no normal business and it will never be one. Its foundation is the misery of women. And I really don't know why male urges and desires should be prioritized over the wellbeing of these women.

@@KoenigTamar Because most of them don't want to work in cleaning every day and prefer this line of work. Who are you to say its not their decision? Every low paying shit job's foundation is the misery of those who work it

You can translate "Reeperbahn" as "rope-makers-lane". But the workshops were rectangular to the street, way way into the backyards the ropes were produced by twiddling finer threads into thick ropes. On a sailing ship, you need miles and miles of ropes of all legths and diameters and they wear out with use. Later the french army under Napoleon tore down the whole quarter. Then steamships became fashion and the demand for ropes dwindled. So the area just outside the gates of Hamburg *and* Altona was turned into an amusement path.

Prostitution is legal for decades. The new thing is that it now is a profession and prostitutes are entitled to social security as everyone else.

By day the Beatles slept in the whorehouses, by night they played the rock'n roll!

Maybe James just cut out the part, when he chatted to the woman and kept her from doing her work. Maybe *she* said: "For me its just another day at the office."
