Davidwache
The Davidwache (David(s) Watch) is the best-known police station in Hamburg. It is located in the St. Pauli quarter near Reeperbahn, at the corner of Spielbudenplatz square and Davidstraße. Today it is the seat of Hamburg Police Department 15. While the Davidwache existed since 1840, the listed brick building was erected by Fritz Schumacher from 1913 to 1914 and opened on 10 December 1914. Sculptor Richard Kuöhl designed the ceramic elements of the station house. In 2004-5 an extension was added at the back. The building is known from numerous movies and TV series, and it has been called Germany's best-known police station. Paul McCartney and Pete Best had to spend a night at the Davidwache.
