For more than 200 years, the Reeperbahn in Hamburg’s famous entertainment district St. Pauli has been a place of social, cultural and spatial heterogeneities. It is a place where various socioeconomic activities exist simultaneously and spatially adjacent; where people with highly differing backgrounds and lifestyles either crash into or simply push past each other. This contribution concentrates on these (non-)encounters taking the perspective of homeless people as point of departure: Based on mobile interviews and accompanying sketch maps, we focus on their emotional attachments and spatial perceptions in order to address atmospheres as both influencing local mobilities and being mobile themselves.
