Berlin
Within the last twenty years, the trade seems to have declined on the Ku'damm (Kurfurstendamm) and gone completely on the Potsdamer Strasse, but grown on the Kurfurstenstrasse. A new shop on the corner of Kurfüstenstrasse and Potsdamer Strasse (LSD) has caused some discussion in the area by itself becasue of its effect, and this is magnified by plans to build a 40 room plus brothel, adjacent to the shop. See
Another possible place is Savigny Platz but this can be expensive.
In the Eastern sector there is Oranienburger Strasse.
The largest brothel is Artemis
- Berlin Bei Nacht
- Berlin Intim
- Berlin Sex Kino

Im Winkel, off Gussstahlstrasse. An unprepossessing street when you first turn into it but is quite a decent size altogether - including an indoor 'Laufhaus' as well. Going price 30 Euro.
The image at left shows Gussstahlstrasse - im Winkel is off to the right further along - a fairly large sex shop is just to the left. A plan of 'im Winkel'
is shown below.
The local slang names for the area include apparently "Gurke“, "Eierberg“ and "Riemenwalzwerk“.

Düsseldorf
Hinter dem Bahndamm. The place consists of a five-storey building with each window numbered. This obviously creates problems for windows that are higher up. Seems not be a well-thought of place for general quality.
How to Get There : It is directly next to the railway line, south of the main station. Best way on foot is to go under the railway line via Ellerstrasse, then turn immediately right into Vulkanstrasse. Go along as far as it will go and then turn right.

Several walk-in brothels on Vulkanstrasse, plus one round the corner in Julius-Weber Strasse.

You might care to to look at the
Laufhaus.
How to Get There : Vulkanstrasse lies South-West of the City Center. A good pointer is the tall chimney of the Duisburg Stadtwerke power station. Otherwise you could walk southwards from the Schwanentor Bridge by the Inner Harbor. The required area is encountered as soon as you enter Vulkanstrasse. You could also take the tram (903) or U-Bahn (U79) to Platanenhof, about 5 minutes walk away.
There is a shop with video cabins on Unterstrasse which is close by and open till late (about 2200) - all other such shops in the city appear to shut early.

St Pauli and its Reeperbahn is obviously renowned. It is also more of a 'tourist' and general entertainment area than most red-light districts.
The police presence is very visible with the Davidwache station on the Reeperbahn itself. Legally every officially sanctioned working girl is required submit to a medical examination every 2 weeks.
On the sectioned-off Herbertstrasse, prostitution (behind windows) is allowed around the clock.
In the streets around Herbertstrasse (Gunterstrasse, Erichstrasse, Friedrichstrasse, Davidstrasse, and Gerhardstrasse), women are only allowed to be on the streets from 20:00 onwards. There are no street girls on the Reeperbahn itself. Although there are one or two brothels there - look for a sign EROS CENTER or KONTAKTHOF (entrance also on Große Freiheit).
The Große Freiheit ("Great Freedom") is a side street with several bars and club. In former years, several sex theatres here (Salambo, Regina, Colibri, Safari) would show live sex acts on stage. As of 2005, the Safari is the only live sex theatre left in Germany. The popular table dance club Dollhouse has taken over the premises of Salambo.
The district also contains the Erotic Art Museum, Bernhard 69. Open daily 10am to midnight.
How to Get There : U-Bahn: St. Pauli; S-Bahn: Reeperbahn;
(it is however within walking distance from Hamburg City Center, if you are in the mood))
