I have been reading something about the historical Hamburg of which Wandsbek is a district. Somewhere, I've read that it used to be a very free and liberal place so that there even is a saying in danish about it (German: "Ach, geh doch nach Wandsbek!") translated to "Well, then go to Wandsbek"! As in "so whatever you want". Is that true/is it a known or even used saying? Thank you danish people for your help!
