action

Angelika Geißler spends a sheltered and peaceful life on her parents' farm . One day, when she is raped by a libertine and is expecting a child, the conservative and strict moral family turns away from her. The father throws her out of the house without further ado, the bigoted mother commits suicide because she cannot bear the “shame”. Angelika leaves her rural homeland and goes to the big city. When she arrived in Hamburg , she ended up on the “sinful mile” of St. Pauli . Her social decline is now a done deal: First she works to earn a living as a table lady in an amusement club, then she comes across the greasy pimp Werner Kästel, who quartered her in his brothel to train her as a whore . Angelika fights back against sex as a prostitute with men, but the nasty guy forces her to have sex for money. Angelika is lucky that one day she met the auto mechanic Helmut Brett, who means well for her and is seriously interested in her. He manages to find out where she is being held and finally frees the battered girl from the notorious Herbertstrasse .

Production notes

St-Pauli Herbertstraße was made in the spring of 1965 (largely in the studio and not in Hamburg) and was the first film in the extensive St. Pauli film series that, as a result of Jürgen Roland's semi-documentary cinema drama Police Station Davidswache, was made by various production companies and directors in the Hanseatic city until 1971 were manufactured. The majority of these films told popular stories full of clichés and were generally rated very poorly by critics. Here are a few examples.

Reviews

"Since a Karlsruhe producer in Hamburg and an Austrian director in St. Pauli think they are better informed than the police allow, Mr. von Rathony's" Herbertstrasse ", which has been explored south-east, can confidently be returned to the messy trash that is already on this topic has accumulated: Far from the truth, close to the fairy tale. The remote St. Pauli descriptors should go to the right school in Davidswache and, better still, in Copenhagen's "Strasse ohne Ende". "
