Profile

Julia Staron is known for her commitment at all levels of the city. “Stadt”: since the 1980s, she has been committed to sustainable neighborhood and tourism development as well as neighborhood-friendly nightlife in her home district of St. Pauli in Hamburg. In 2015, she was officially awarded the title of neighborhood manager for the Reeperbahn+ BID: “Neighborhood management in St. Pauli has made me rich – in knowledge, passion and humility. This experience has been with me for over 10 years and inspires me every day.”

Culture and neighborhood are Julia Staron’s topics: “Cohesion, togetherness and courage are the cornerstones of a vibrant society. Differences are opportunities, and culture is the glue that binds us together. For me, it’s about the identity of places – not their image,” emphasizes the cultural development expert.

For a trained mediator, shaping the city also means managing cooperation and conflicts – and mediating between people. A whole bouquet of challenges, which the Hamburg native tackles with great passion and a large network throughout the DACH region.

Julia Staron has been supporting Stadtmanufaktur as a project manager since 2021 and is a sought-after interview partner, speaker and expert.
