O

nce the home of two-time

Ballon d’Or winner and

England captain Kevin

Keegan, the 1983 European

Cup winners and six-times national

champions Hamburg are one of German

football’s biggest and most successful

club sides of all time.

They play in a state-of-the-art,

57,000-capacity stadium in the western

quarter of the city and as recently as

2014 were rated one of the world’s top

20 most valuable clubs by Forbes.

Yet in the heart of Germany’s

second-biggest city there is another

club – and its proud boast is that it

is everything HSV is not.

Situated in an area that also

houses the infamous red-light

Reeperbahn district, St Pauli are

defiantly working class, with their

supporters’ famed for their anti-

racist, anti-homophobic and left-wing

views. The nearest they have ever

come to on-field success has been

the odd season in the top flight, the

last of which, in 2010, ended after just

one season as they finished bottom

of the Bundesliga.

With HSV being the only team to have

played in every Bundesliga season since

its inception in 1963, fixtures between

the two sides were relatively rare...until

Hamburg’s shock relegation in 2018

put an end to that impressive record.

So, with the city’s two teams

now in the same division, the intense

local rivalry once again becomes

football based, rather than a matter

of politics and ideology.

The latest instalment of this most

extreme of derbies will be played

at St Pauli’s Millerntor-Stadion on

September 16.
