Berlin

A German company is building a huge brothel in Berlin to serve fans attending next year’s soccer World Cup, Bild reported last week. Prostitution is legal in Germany, in designated areas. The 60-room complex, just a few blocks from the soccer stadium, will have a staff of 100 prostitutes. Working women waiting for a room to open up can take their clients into the sauna or the whirlpool tubs, or show them pornographic films. A bar on the lower level will feature table dancing. So far, the only criticism of the project came from the Hamburg daily Die Welt, which noted that naming the brothel Artemis, after the company that owns it, was not particularly apt. Artemis was the Greek goddess of virginity.
