The new stadium’s inauguration coincided with a rise in crime in the district, which was linked to the growing prostitution and entertainment industries. It was then that some local gangsters became well known. One was Wilfrid ‘Frieda’ Shultz, the Godfather of St. Pauli, who went from being a warehouse assistant to owning restaurants in the Reeperbahn and being a partner in hotels and discotheques. In 1959 he took over gambling in the area after the US Mafia helped remove the Italians running a protection racket. In St. Pauli, Frieda’s word was gospel. He was tried on 25 occasions but was given only four minor convictions and had good relations with the city’s upper classes. In the 1980s, when drugs burst into the neighbourhood, he retired, dying of cancer in 1990. His criminal gang had to coexist with others. These included the GMBH cartel: a ring of pimps (Gerhard Glissmann, Michael ‘Mischa’ Luchting, Walter Beagle Vogeler and Harald Voerthman). They operated in St. Pauli in the 1970s and 1980s, controlling brothels, peepshow venues, restaurants, casinos and clubs. Other gangs were the Nutella Bande, led by ‘Tommy Karate’ Born, who took on the GMBH over controlling prostitution; Das Chicago, the third St. Pauli gang which became prominent in the 1980s due to the rise of cocaine; the gunmen ‘Wiener’ Peter and Werner Pinzer – the St. Pauli assassin; or bikers groups such as the Hamburg section of the Hell’s Angels (which was shut down by the police in the 1980s). These groups formed alliances or fought between them from the 1970s, and the gang warfare continued into the following decade over control of weapons and drugs such as cocaine.
