History
In 1410 the articles 17 and 18 of a contract (Rezeß) between the Senate and the citizens were regulating the accommodation of the patients in the hospital St. Georg (S. Georg / Suente Juergens). This hospital still exists as the Asklepios Klinik St. Georg.
In 1868 the suburb St. Georg became official part of Hamburg, including the hospital for epidemic plague.
Due to the problems with drug abuse, prostitution and the high crime rate, in 2007 the Senate of Hamburg enforced a law to enact a ban of weapons on the area Hansaplatz of St. Georg. The only other place of Hamburg is the area Reeperbahn, St. Pauli.
