I invite you to join an immersive video guide to a place often overlooked by visitors, despite being in a visible location like Hamburg Central Station. Head to the park behind the bus station and museum, find the QR code, and get ready to watch and listen. We will peek behind the fence of the public drug scene and start a dialogue about social distance and its ethical aspects.

Drob Inn is a low-threshold, accepting contact and counseling service with integrated drug consumption rooms that provides specific support for adults with substance use disorder (SUD) and is state-recognized. It is located in the Hamburg-St. Georg district near Central Station, serving as a strategic support center that offers accessible services without requiring lengthy journeys. Its concept and services are tailored specifically to the local open drug scene.

However, in April 2024, local authorities installed a fence in front of the facility to separate the Drob Inn courtyard from the sidewalk. The separation aimed to 'revitalize' the actively used green space and make the use of the pavement more pleasant for pedestrians, while the fencing also offers limited visual protection.
