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.

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

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. The view to the left is from the railway line, South of the Central Station.

If you exit from the main entrance, then you will need to go along the Hartkortstrasse and pass under the railway line via Ellerstrasse. From the eastern end of this bridge, you follow the railway line further along Vulkanstrasse. Go along as far as it will go and then turn right.

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.
