Sex Morality and Scandals in Dusseldorf History

1 hour 30 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: German and 1 more

In the shadow of the red light.
Sin and crime shake hands here. We don’t have a Reeperbahn in Düsseldorf, but did you know that one of the most famous sex workers of the post-war era is from Düsseldorf? Have you ever heard of the "dirnenunwesen"? What was the "morality police" responsible for? How did people deal with sexually transmitted diseases in old Düsseldorf?

On this tour, the red-lit facts tell you : which laws applied to "lidy women" in 1878, what role morality played and what scandals took place in our beautiful city.
