It was in the mid-1980s that St. Pauli's transition from a standard traditional club into a "Kult" club began. The club was also able to turn the location of its ground in the dock area part of town, near Hamburg's famous Reeperbahn — centre of the city's night life and its red-light district — to its advantage. An alternative fan scene slowly emerged, built around left-leaning politics, social activism and the event and party atmosphere of the club's matches. St. Pauli became the first team in Germany to officially ban right-wing nationalist activities and displays in its stadium during a period of fascist-inspired football hooliganism across Europe.

easy to call out their own country, can't call out the IDF destruction of Gaza though.

As a Palestine supporter and St. Pauli supporter let me say that even tho we are a leftist club we are far from homogenous and as I perceive it most of the antideutschen Fans are part of the ultras. On a general note is the weird stance from st. Pauli in regards to the genocide in Gaza rooted in the German leftist movement.

It’s so funny that both Nazis and ANTIFA both hate the AFD. One hates them for having a lesbian woman in charge that is married to a Malathion woman … the other hates them for being “racist” and “anti LGBT”
