St. Pauli Roller Derby is a flat track roller derby league based in Hamburg in Germany. It consists of two trip teams, an A team and a B team, which compete against teams from other leagues. They are called St. Pauli A and St. Pauli B respectively.
St. Pauli Roller Derby is the follow-up club to the Harbor Girls e.V., which was an independent roller derby club before it became part of FC St. Pauli and changed its name.[1]
The Harbor Girls were founded by Spooky Spiky and Killing Zoe, the former had previously skated with the Stuttgart Valley Rollergirlz.[2] By mid-2011, the league had thirty skaters.[3]
"Heavy Miss Gale", a skater from the league, was selected for the German national team for the 2011 Roller Derby World Cup.[4]
In the 2014 World Championship, four player from SPRD were selected to play in the Dallas roster: Ostblocker, Jeanne Dark, Knock 'n' Rose and Lotta Loveless.[5]
In March 2023, the league announced a changed name to St. Pauli Roller Derby on their Facebook profile.[6] This change was made to reflect the expansive genders within the league, and to honour their history with FC St. Pauli. The logo was updated with this change.
