You can normally buy tickets on the DB (German Railways) website up to 6 months in advance. However the annual timetable change is on the second Sunday in December (9th December 2018), and the timetables after that date have not yet been released,
I suggest you go to the DB website ( https://www.bahn.com/en/view/index.shtml ) every few weeks and check.

If you want an idea of times and prices, lookup Hamburg to Berlin and Berlin to Munich for a date before 9th December, the differences will not be major.

Not sure where you mean by "St Paulie"

Lots of info about German trains here: https://www.seat61.com/Germany-trains.htm

Are you aware that parts or the Reeperbahn are somewhat seedy? Bars, strip clubs, etc?

The Reeperbahn is a street in Hamburg. There is an S-Bahn station (commuter rail, but underground), called "Reeperbahn", at one end, and a U-Bahn station (métro), called "St Pauli", at the other. You will be using the S- and U-Bahn to get from the airport and around Hamburg.
When you leave, just get a train from whichever station is nearest to Hamburg Hbf (main station), and a train from there to Berlin Hbf.

You can look up trains from Hamburg to Berlin, and buy tickets, on the DB (German Railways) website: https://www.bahn.com/en/view/index.shtml
