Ratinger Straße runs as a narrow, cobblestone artery through the heart of the old town, flanked by rows of tall, dark brick facades. While other streets in the district cater to tourists, this stretch retains a distinct, defiant reputation as the home of the local punk scene. In the late nineteen seventies, the nearby Ratinger Hof served as the epicenter for bands like Die Toten Hosen, who spent their nights turning the club into a noisy, chaotic laboratory for German punk rock.
