"Hell's Bells" by AC/DC. Every football fan in Germany immediately associates the Millerntor with this song. The meanwhile legendary kick-off music by the Kiezkicker, together with the unique atmosphere of the FC St. Pauli home ground, creates a mixture that gives every spectator goosebumps.
In 1961, construction work began on the Millerntor Stadium at its current location. The old stadium on the Heiligengeistfeld, which was built in 1946 on the corner of Glacischaussee/Budapester Strasse after it was destroyed in World War II, fell victim to the International Garden Exhibition.
However, the new stadium was only inaugurated in 1963, because the drainage had initially been forgotten and the playing field was regularly flooded. In 1970 the stadium was renamed the Wilhelm Koch Stadium.

In February 2002, the Millerntor-Stadion saw a spectacular 2-1 victory in the Bundesliga against FC Bayern, who had just won the Intercontinental Cup. The resourceful St. Paulians immediately had the right neologism at hand: world cup winners! This expression made the rounds on T-shirts nationwide.

The plan for the new construction of the Millerntor Stadium was then presented on July 13, 2006 by President Corny Littmann and Mayor Ole von Beust: by 2014, the previous grandstands will be replaced by new ones in four construction phases. The new stadium will then have a capacity of 27,000 spectators.

FC St. Pauli von 1910 e.V. continues to try to get all supporters cheap tickets. This now also includes intensified action against black marketeers in front of the stadium, which are even subject to stadium bans.
