Frank Fechner, then general manager of FC St. Pauli, remembers the summer of 2005. The summer before the “B-series” began: “the club had been broke several times. The court officer had been a regular visitor to the club’s office, but there was nothing more to get for him.” What happened then wasn’t only unique in sporting terms, but also lifesaving for the proud FC St. Pauli. Over eight months and five DFB-Cup rounds, the regional league team prevents that “the club disappears from the soccer map”, as Fabian Boll puts it. FC St. Pauli eliminated four higher-division teams out of the competition. After victories against Burghausen, Berlin and Bremen, the series only ended in the semi-final against Bayern.

"St. Pauli! - Rausgehen-Warmmachen-Weghauen" accompanies the demolition and reconstruction of the south stand of the Millertor Stadium, the resurgence of Hamburg's cult club FC St. Pauli into the 2nd Bundesliga, and the beginning of a new era for the club so steeped in tradition that it has always retained its otherness. As peculiar is the most famous district of Hamburg and the protagonists are. The atmosphere on the Reeperbahn, the Kiez, Schanzen and Karoviertel are captured just as much as the tension before the all-important match against Dynamo Dresden. In short: a documentary about life and people in the neighborhood and the most important thing for every St. Paulian - FC St. Pauli. Thanks to the closeness to the protagonists, the film shows an attitude to life that can only be found in St. Pauli.
