The Bernhard-Nocht-Strasse in the district of Hamburg-St. Pauli belongs to a group of streets between the Reeperbahn and the St. Pauli Hafenstraße , which after a resolution of the authorities made around 1790 with male first names in alphabetical order from A (like 'Antoni') to H (like 'Heinrich' or later 'Herbertstraße ') were named. The southernmost of these eight streets was named Bernhardstraße , which was converted into Bernhard-Nocht-Straße in 1924 in honor of the then still incumbent director Bernhard Nocht of the then Hamburg Tropical Institute .

The street runs from Antonipark , where it meets the streets Pinnasberg , St. Pauli Hafenstraße and Antonistraße , along the northern bank of the Elbe from St. Pauli on the Hohe Geestkante , rising towards the east until it crosses into Seewartenstraße at the harbor hospital .

In this course are the Erotic Art Museum Hamburg (next to this was Harrys Hamburger Hafenbasar at number 65 until 1996 ), the Empire Riverside Hotel , the new "Astra Tower" on the old Bavaria site , the 20-storey Atlantic Haus , the Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine and the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency .
