«Rohrkrepierer» (Eine Jugend auf St. Pauli) is the novel by Konrad Lorenz, published by Edition Temmen in paperback (375 pages, in German).
It recounts Kalle's childhood and youth in the St. Pauli district, from the postwar period to the 1960s: the black market near the Reeperbahn, childhood pranks, the cinema, jazz, and sentimental awakening among mothers who support their families, fathers absent or scarred by war, sailors, prostitutes, and pimps.
The action takes place between 1940 and 1962, with real St. Pauli settings such as the Reeperbahn and Herbertstraße.
For readers interested in the popular life of Hamburg and in portraits of childhood in postwar Germany.
