In the middle of Hamburg's Kiez, between Talstrasse and Grosse Freiheit, there was already a "Chinese Quarter" in the 1920s. After the First World War, a few hundred Chinese, mostly former sailors, settled there, with small shops, laundries and restaurants in the basement. In Altona, the Chinese belonged to the international melting pot of the colorful harbor district. However, they were mostly perceived with a distance as strange or even threatening: rumors of "opium dens" and a seedy "underworld" circulated, police actions and racial discrimination were the order of the day, even if the exotic, foreign atmosphere of the "Chinese alley" made some St .-Pauli-Flaneur fascinated. During the Third Reich, the Chinese in Hamburg came under increasing scrutiny from the authorities and were persecuted, interned or expelled. On May 13, 1944, the Gestapo finally carried out a "Chinese action" in which 130 Chinese men were arrested, mistreated and imprisoned for months in the "Langer Morgen" work education camp in the port of Hamburg. That was the end of the "Chinese Quarter" in St. Pauli. The film goes in search of traces and speaks to many eyewitnesses who report very impressively on their experiences and memories of the Chinese community in St.Pauli during the war and post-war years.
