Prostitution vehicles – set-up notification
Prostitution vehicles are motor vehicles, vehicle trailers and other mobile facilities that are provided for the provision of sexual services.
Anyone wishing to set up a prostitution vehicle for operation on more than two consecutive days or several times in one month must notify the locally competent public order office two weeks before setting it up. The place of operation and the hours of operation must not conflict with the requirements for the protection of the prostitutes working in the prostitution vehicle as well as the customers, the youth and the residents or the general public. Otherwise, the installation of the prostitution vehicle may be prohibited.
Failure to report, to report correctly, to report completely or to report in time is an administrative offence and can be punished with a fine of up to 1,000.00 euros.
