St Pauli facts
While investigating facts about St Pauli, I found out little known, but curios details like:
The people of St. Pauli, Hamburg, were sick of their district smelling like urine because of nightclub patrons relieving themselves on the street. So they painted the buildings with special paint that repels water so forcefully public urinators end up peeing on themselves.
In Hamburg Germany's St Pauli party district, hydrophobic paint was used on walls to "pee back" at people relieving themselves in public.
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 4 of the best facts about St Pauli I managed to collect.
