'In print almost continuously since 1978 and long on its way to world fame: Café Lehmitz - as a book, a ‘hotspot’ among all the world's neighbourhood pubs, located in Hamburg at the end of the Reeperbahn. The Swedish photographer Anders Petersen immortalised Café Lehmitz with his tenderly raw photographs.'
