Germany, which legalized prostitution in 2001, now has 400,000 registered hookers working in a thriving sex industry that will soon have a new whorehouse spanning 20,000 square feet
Juergen Rudolf, the owner, says Paradise Island “will be a great place for men to relax.” Oh yeah!
WORK BEGINS ON EUROPE’S BIGGEST BROTHEL IN GERMAN TOWN WHOSE MAYOR COMPLAINS ‘IT’S EASIER TO OPEN A HOUSE OF ILL REPUTE THAN A CHIP SHOP’

Europe’s biggest brothel spanning nearly 20,000 square feet, costing £3.8million and employing nearly 100 working girls is poised to open in Germany.
Building work is already underway on the ‘mega bordello’ as it has been dubbed in the German media as prostitution continues to flourish in the country where the world's oldest profession has been recognised since 2001 as a legal one too.
But for many residents of the city on the border with France, the house of ill repute is one too many in a community already overflowing with sex parlours.
The centre-left SPD mayoress, Charlotte Britz, is apprehensive of the social strains on the city, stating: ‘Prostitution has assumed unbearable proportions here.’
And bemoaning the labyrinthine planning regulations in her homeland, she said: ‘Businesses like this find it is easy to get permission. In fact, it is easier to open a brothel in Saarbruecken than it is a chip shop.’
She is calling for the state government to introduce a higher sex tax that would at least pay dividends back into city coffers.
Tentatively named Paradise Island, the aircraft-hangar style building is expected to employ at least half its staff from the Polish, Hungarian, Romanian and Bulgarian prostitutes already operating in other sex establishments in the city.
Saarbruecken became a magnet for eastern European working girls when the EU expanded its borders in 2007.
There are over 1,000 registered sex workers in the city of 170,000 and probably three times that many working under the radar.
Much of the custom comes from France where official attitudes to prostitution are not as relaxed as in Germany and the laws governing it more complex. Huge number of new customers from the nearby cities of Nancy, Metz and the many small towns in-between are expected to break for the border when Paradise Island opens its doors in January 2014.
