You must not use the hash sign like this in the url. In fact, the hash sign has a special meaning, everything that follows the hash sign is interpreted in the browser only. It is not used to distinguish URLs, but anchors on the page.

Therefore, express will not parse what comes after the hash sign, at least in its default configuration.
