Hurzeler is impressing in the Premier League so far this season, pushing them up the table.
The German club’s annual report states that Brighton paid them about £5.4 million for Hurzeler.
There is also a suggestion that there is also a performance-based element to the fee.
If Brighton are successful in the coming seasons, St Pauli may earn yet more money.
St Pauli transformed a loss of about £4 million from the previous season into a profit this time.
