Prostitution event – notification of organisation or holding

Prostitution events are events that are held for an open group of participants, during which sexual services are offered by at least one immediately present individual.

Anyone wishing to organise or hold a prostitution event must submit notification to the competent local Public Order Office, at least four weeks before the start of the event.

Prostitution events must only be held in suitable buildings, rooms, other stationary facilities or other mobile facilities (such as vehicles, ships, etc.). The operating location and operating hours must not be in conflict with the requirements for the protection of the prostitutes working at the prostitution event or their customers, of local residents and neighbours or the general public.
Approval for holding the prostitution event may otherwise be denied.
It is considered an offence, if notification is not submitted in time, not submitted truthfully, or not in full, and a fine of up to EUR 1,000.00 may be imposed for such offence.
