If a Heini lives like a wild man in the Bamboo Bar in Bremen, the sailor must take over the upbringing with a trained fist.

Bremen's ports were extensively damaged by Allied bombing during World War II.

Post-war, the docks were rebuilt and by the early 1950s the volume of goods passing through the ports had risen to pre-war levels.

On one occasion it was estimated that American sailors had spent DM 90,000 in Bremen in a 36-hour period, some of this in Die Küste.

The main source of income for the clubs and bars on Die Küste, the seafarers, no longer came and the area declined.

A 1954 police report stated "If a sailor returns to the port after months at sea, he expects hard drinks and female beings!"

A 1953 official report included a reference to the Hawaii-Bier-Bar: "Soon after it opened, it became a refuge for all prostitutes and other dark elements.

[11] Hardly any clubs of that time have survived to this day, although the Bambus-Bar, Happy Night and Elefant und Krokodil still exist on Nordstraße.
