World Cup Corner

If you will be tired of watching World Cup or you won’t have tickets, than you might think to visit a brand new Germany’s largest brothel near the Olympic Stadium.

Organizers of what they claim will be Germany’s largest brothel unveiled the building, which is set to open in time for the 2006 World Cup soccer tournament.

The Artemis brothel near the Olympic Stadium is a four-story building with a pool, sauna and movie theater will accommodate up to 650 men and 100 women at any one time, said Norman Jacob, the lawyer representing its backers.

Germany legalized prostitution in 2003.

Jacob and investors, who are remaining anonymous, showed onlookers some of the themed rooms, with titles like Toscana and Cleopatra, each decorated and painted to reflect their inspirations. Jacob denied that the brothel was built to take advantage of the crowds flooding Germany for next year’s World Cup, to be held in Germany. He said however that Artemis’ location, close to soccer stadiums, would be convenient for potential customers.

He said the women would pay a one-time €70 (US$85) fee and be allowed to occupy a room for up to three months. During that time, each will be provided with free food and gym access. Customers would pay an entrance fee but would otherwise pay the women directly.

So, if you can’t get tickets, you can get screwed.
