Flaßhofstraße
The Flaßhofstraße is street in the city of Oberhausen in the Ruhr district of Germany. It is the centre of the city's red-light district. History The brothel street in the central district of Oberhausen has existed in its present form since 1963. It is relatively large in relation to the population of Oberhausen and is a controlled regulation zone. Flaßhofstraße has 16 buildings in which prostitutes rent a total of around 230 rooms. A 2011 police report stated most of the women working in the street come from Romania, Bulgaria and Poland. ''Flaßhofstrasse'' was originally called ''Eintrachtstrasse''. Prostitution on the upper part of this street occurred prior to 1914. The street's reputation soon became known beyond the city. When the Ruhr uprising broke out in defiance of the Kapp Putsch in March 1920, the Ruhr Red Army, whose goal was the establishment of a Dictatorship of the proletariat, put into service the so-called "Red Cross sisters" as medical personnel, who con ...

Prostitution In Germany
Prostitution in Germany is legal, as are other aspects of the sex industry, including brothels, advertisement, and job offers through HR companies. Full-service sex work is widespread and regulated by the German government, which levies taxes on it. In 2016, the government adopted a new law, the Prostitutes Protection Act, in an effort to improve the legal situation of sex workers, while also now enacting a legal requirement for registration of prostitution activity and banning prostitution which involves no use of condoms. The social stigmatization of sex work persists and many workers continue to lead a double life. Human rights organizations consider the resulting common exploitation of women from Eastern and Southeastern Europe to be the main problem associated with the profession. History Middle Ages to Confederation (1815) Sex work in historically German lands has never been outlawed and has been described since the Middle Ages. Since the 13th century, several ...

Kapp Putsch
The Kapp Putsch (), also known as the Kapp–Lüttwitz Putsch (), was an abortive coup d'état against the German national government in Berlin on 13 March 1920. Named after its leaders Wolfgang Kapp and Walther von Lüttwitz, its goal was to undo the German Revolution of 1918–1919, overthrow the Weimar Republic, and establish an autocratic government. It was supported by parts of the '' Reichswehr'', as well as nationalist and monarchist factions. Although the legitimate German government was forced to flee the city, the coup failed after a few days, when large sections of the German population joined a general strike called by the government. Most civil servants refused to cooperate with Kapp and his allies. Despite its failure, the Putsch had significant consequences for the future of the Weimar Republic. It was also one of the direct causes of the Ruhr uprising a few weeks later, which the government suppressed by military force, after having dealt leniently with lea ...
