The Davidwache (David’s Watch) is the most famous police station in Hamburg, and its police department is responsible for the smallest jurisdiction in Europe - their 150 officers look after less than 1km² of Hamburg’s streets. Their jobs are far from boring because their district contains Hamburg’s equivalent of the Red Light District, the Reeperbahn, which is also a major draw for tourists. The Davidwache features in many of the most interesting stories of the district so most tours of the Reeperbahn include a stop outside.
