Brothels

As a university town, Erlangen has a limited brothel scene. The few addresses are located on the outskirts and focus on discretion. For a wider selection, nearby Nuremberg offers well-established Laufhaus venues and clubs.

Legal Framework

• Sex work has been fully legal in Germany since 2002.
• The Prostitute Protection Act (ProstSchG) of 2017 regulates registration and operating permits.
• Condom use is mandatory for all sexual services.
• Prices and services are always discussed directly and in advance.

Tips

• Polite, respectful behavior is a baseline expectation.
• Cash is the preferred payment method.
• Addresses are outside the city center — a car or taxi is recommended.
