There has been an increasingly heated debate in Berlin about street prostitution, particularly in Mitte district, which has a history of sex workers, and on measures that might be taken to safeguard the safety of sex workers.
Axar.az reports citing foreign media that the mayor of Berlin’s central Mitte district, Stephan von Dassel, has made a statement proposing to install “Verichtungsboxen” boxes, booths where prostitutes could receive their clientele, with the parking areas of former Tempelhof Airport suggested as one of the sites.
When asked about other potential venues for the sex booths, the official also suggested the central fairground in the Mitte district or the area under the viaduct of the U2 line at the Bülowbogen.
“Publicly controlled performance boxes can improve working conditions, especially women's safety, and reduce the negative impact of prostitution on the living environment. Performance boxes only bring about an improvement in the overall situation, even if they can be used by a car and another public practice of sex work is restricted by a Restricted Area Ordinance,” said the mayor.
