Street prostitution as
practiced in
Bonn
, once the capital of
West Germany
and a town better known for
sleepiness than sexiness, would be unfamiliar to many people
outside
Germany
for its unusual degree of
organization and institutionalization. The women wait for
customers on a stretch of the Immenburgstrasse in a largely
industrial part of the city. In addition to the Siemens-built
meter machine, which cost $11,575 including installation, the
city has built special wooden garages nearby where customers
can park their cars and have sex.
“They
are called, in fairest and finest administrative High German,
‘performance areas,’ but I believe the Italian prime
minister would say ‘bunga bunga,’ ” said Monika Frömbgen,
a spokeswoman for the city.
