The first city in Germany to introduce an explicit tax on prostitution was Cologne. The tax was initiated in early 2004 by the city council under the leadership of a coalition of CDU and the left-wing Greens. This tax applies to striptease, peep shows, pornographic cinemas, sex fairs, massage parlors and prostitution. In the case of prostitution, the tax is 150 euros per month and working prostitutes are to be paid by brothel owners or by prostitutes who work privately. (The Geestemünder Straße area mentioned above is excluded.) The fight against prostitution was an explicitly stated objective of the tax. In 2006, the city collected 828,000 euros through this tax. [72] The neighboring city of Bonn levied a six-euro night sex work tax on street prostitutes on Immenburgstraße in vending machines identical to German parking meters. All other areas of the city are restricted areas (taboo for street prostitution). If the offender managed, supervised, controlled or owned a brothel, the offence is a Class D felony and is punishable by imprisonment for one to five years and/or a fine of $1,000 to $10,000. I live in Frankfurt and it`s always nice to see that our city attracts attention and not just the airport and the financial district! One correction, though: pharmacies in the station area do NOT dispense drugs!! It would be illegal and these places would be closed immediately if they did.

However, they do provide a safe environment, clean needles, and medical assistance, especially in case someone does OD. In Kentucky, minors cannot be prosecuted for prostitution. If a child under the age of eighteen is suspected of engaging in prostitution or loitering for the purpose of prostitution, a law enforcement officer will prepare a report and the minor may be remanded in custody. The Cabinet of Health and Family Services will then investigate the child dependence, neglect or abuse. An STD law was discussed and passed in 1927. [12] It went hand in hand with the decriminalization of prostitution. Anything that led to the “promotion of prostitution” remained a crime until 2001, even after the sweeping penal reforms of 1973. This threatened brothel operators with potential lawsuits. Most brothels were therefore operated as a bar with an adjacent but legally separate room rent.

However, many communities have built, exploited and profited from high-rise buildings or townhouse-like prostitutes` dormitories to keep street work and pimping under control. Here, workers sold sex in a room that they rented by the day. These facilities, called “race houses” in Johns jargon, are now largely privatized and operate as Eros centers. Even before the 2001 reform, many high-end sex workers worked at home, alone or with other women. Luxurious country houses, called “nudist sauna clubs”, are the exclusive end of prostitution in Germany. There, women and men pay the same entrance fees between about 50 and 100 euros and usually include meals and drinks, and sex workers negotiate their agreements with individual clients, thus avoiding the appearance of pimping. Illegal variants of this business model, such as “Flaterate clubs” and “packaged clubs”, also exist and openly advertise in daily newspapers and on the Internet. These establishments charge an “all-you-can-eat” fee of around €75 to €90. Typically, these are houses or large buildings, often with swimming pool and sauna, a large meeting room with bar and buffet downstairs, TV/video screens and upstairs bedrooms. Opening hours are usually from late morning until after midnight. Women are usually naked (hence the name, which refers to the German naturist naturist movement) or topless, men can wear bathrobes or towels.

Men and women often pay the same entrance fee of 35-70 euros, including the use of all facilities and refreshments (beer is allowed, but most nudist clubs do not allow alcohol). Some clubs allow couples. This form of prostitution, mentioned in the explanatory memorandum to the 2002 law on prostitution as good working conditions for women, exists throughout Germany, Austria and parts of the Netherlands, but especially in the Rhine-Ruhr region and the Frankfurt am Main region. Some of the biggest clubs of this type include: Artemis in Berlin, opened in autumn 2005, the new harem in Bad Lippspringe and the traditional FKK World near Gießen and FKK Oase in the countryside near Bad Homburg. Among the competitors for supremacy in the red-light districts are several biker gangs. Again and again, there were massive clashes between the Bandidos and the Hells Angels. Both associations are well-known arms and drug traffickers and promoters of prostitution. [84] [85] [86] During World War II, the German Wehrmacht established about 100 Wehrmacht brothels in the occupied territories, including France, Poland, Italy, and Norway. Lothar-Günther Buchheim describes his impressions of Brest: “When a large ship arrived, they were simply between the sailors. Military prostitution was regulated: “Only a permit from the brothel of the military command was allowed to visit you.

Always use a condom (rubber protection). For the German soldiers, there was an injection of disinfectant into the urethra. [15] Between 2000 and 2003, the issuance of visas by German consulates was liberalized. The opposition claimed that this had led to an increase in human trafficking and the illegal entry of sex workers, particularly from Ukraine.
