FC St. Pauli-Museum

In the lively St. Pauli district, the FC St. Pauli Museum conveys the history of the club and its diverse fan and local community.

The exhibition rooms are on the ground floor of the east stand (Gegengerade) of the Millerntor Stadium. The museum is operated by the association "1910 – Museum für den FC St. Pauli e. V.", which was founded in 2012.

The starting point was a temporary container exhibition on Harald-Stender-Platz from June to October 2010 with almost 2,000 exhibits; afterwards the decision was taken to establish a permanent presentation. During the reconstruction of the Gegengerade between June 2012 and early 2013, a combination of stadium facilities and a police station had originally been planned. After resistance to this proximity between the active fan scene and the police, the police station remained at its previous location, and the stadium spaces could be retained for club-related purposes. The shell spaces were completed in 2017 and handed over to the supporters' association for fitting out. The permanent exhibition titled "KIEZBEBEN 2.0" opened in early 2020.

The museum collects, archives, preserves and supplements objects related to the history of FC St. Pauli. The holdings include photographs and other visual material, video interviews with contemporary witnesses, historic jerseys and football boots, press articles, memorabilia, documents as well as fan banners and posters; numerous official files are part of the archive. The permanent exhibition features a partially reconstructed life-size Gegengerade, an outdoor area with the historic manual scoreboard, and an exhibition segment on the squatted houses of Hafenstraße with a purpose-built street barricade. Permanently on display are two illuminated models of the Millerntor Stadium at a scale of 1:100, one of the current stadium and one of its predecessor. In the foyer is the 1910 wine bar behind a sliding glass front; it is run by volunteers.

The sponsoring association is funded mainly by membership fees (more than 1,000 members), donations, grants and admission fees.
