[Leica] St Pauli girl? 2

[douglas.sharp at gmx.de (Douglas Sharp)]

The beer mentioned is a mass brewed product actually brewed by Becks in 
Bremen (a part of interbrew/Inbev Belgium), on a world scale of beers it 
ranks at around position 190 - 210.
The Monastery of Saint Paul (St Pauli) in Bremen was destroyed in 1523 
and never rebuilt. This part of town , the Ostertorviertel, in the past 
a rough area just outside the city walls, became very much a kind of 
German Greenwich Village in the mid seventies, lots of alternative 
cafes, theatres, whole food stores and people wearing scratchy self 
knitted or woven clothes. Bremen, along with Hamburg, are cities which 
are also federal states of the Federal Republic of Germany, and both 
belonged to the Hanse (Hansa) towns. Bremerhaven, just up the river 
Weser from Bremen, is where US soldiers (including Elvis) arrived for 
their stint of service in Germany, is also a part of the city/state of 
Bremen. The centre of town is well worth a visit as are the 
B?ttcherstrasse ( Art Deco/Jugendstil) and the Schnoorviertel with its 
timbered houses down by the river. St Pauli is however hardly ever 
mentioned in conjunction with anywhere else except Hamburg.
