[Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

A bridge, a neigh­bour­hood, a city in flux: when the decis­i­on is made to demo­lish Hamburg’s Sternbrücke, a micro­c­osm that has grown up over time – com­pri­sing clubs, kiosks, work­shops and the local com­mu­ni­ty – is thrown into turm­oil. STERNBRÜCKE FOREVER tells a warm-hear­ted and humo­rous sto­ry of fare­well and resistance.

Beneath Hamburg’s Sternbrücke, a uni­que micro­c­osm of clubs, kiosks, work­shops and the local com­mu­ni­ty has flou­ris­hed. Mehmet sells fal­a­fel, Martina runs a kiosk, and Stefan repairs cars. And every weekend, young peo­p­le flock to the clubs run by Juri, Daniel, Ute and others beneath the Sternbrücke. But their time here is run­ning out. When the decis­i­on is made to demo­lish the bridge, a peri­od of uncer­tain­ty las­ting seve­ral years beg­ins for the local com­mu­ni­ty. The film fol­lows the com­mu­ni­ty in a sta­te of uphe­aval – caught bet­ween ever­y­day life, fare­wells and resistance.

STERNBRÜCKE FOREVER is a warm-hear­ted and sur­pri­sin­gly humo­rous decla­ra­ti­on of love for a spe­cial place and its peo­p­le, and at the same time a furious com­men­ta­ry on urban poli­cy, the con­se­quen­ces of which can be obser­ved in many cities. A Hamburg sto­ry thus beco­mes a uni­ver­sal nar­ra­ti­ve about chan­ge and soli­da­ri­ty – and about the ques­ti­on of who the city belongs to and what makes it worth living in.
