Laufhaus Germany Guide: The Best Eros Centers

Eros Centers (or Laufhaus) are common in Germany’s sex industry and are similar to the one-woman brothels you might find in Asia. An Eros Center is a hotel in which the rooms are individually rented to prostitutes to conduct their business.

Clients pay an entrance fee (usually about €5) which covers the house charge and then they are free to roam the premises to select the prostitute of their choice and use any communal facilities.

In this Laufhaus Germany Guide, we take a closer look at the culture of Eros Centers in Germany. Including what to expect if you visit one, and how they work…

Eros Centers and Laufhaus in Germany

There are many Eros centers in Germany and each one differs in terms of facilities offered.

Some, such as the extravagant Pascha in Cologne include a nightclub, bar, shop and speciality trans floor.

The girls (and TS) generally position themselves outside of their rooms if they are available so that potential clients may wander at leisure to choose a lady.

Unlike brothels, the prostitutes do not pay any percentage of their earnings to the house and negotiate all of their own fees.

The authorities in Germany were keen on the expansion of Eros centers to avoid the growth of red light districts in their cities. As a result most German cities have an Eros center; however in some regions this may refer to a street as opposed to a single building but the principle remains the same.

Whilst most major cities will also have an assortment of alternatives to the Eros center (brothels, escorts, massage parlours etc), most still have an Eros center.
