Germans to make stand against prostitutes - with rancid butter!

Residents of one German town think having prostitutes on their streets stinks – and they’re willing to go to smelly means to fix it!

The citizens of Vierlinden in Brandenburg have threatened to use butyric acid, which is found in rancid butter and is sometimes used to disperse wild animals, against the women.

According to the ‘Märkische Allgemeine’ newspaper, the town’s Mayor Dirk Illgenstein said: “Our territory must be completely off limits to the red light scene.”

The community leader said he fears the image of the region, close to the border with Poland, is being damaged by the prostitutes.

And the paper also reported that community representatives from surrounding areas are just as keen to combat the street girls “with all means at their disposal”.

Photos will be taken of the punters and their identities published on the internet, and the stinky butyric acid will be thrown at the prostitutes!

Uta Ludwig, director of the Belladonna women’s counselling organisation in Frankfurt which has been involved in AIDS prevention in the border region for years, is horrified.

She said: “That is completely sick and discriminatory and reminds me of witch hunts in the Middle Ages.”

Belladonna is now looking for talks with community representatives because “driving away the women accomplishes nothing. They just reappear at the next corner.”

Around ten prostitutes from Bulgaria and Poland work everyday on Bundesstrasse 1 (Federal Highway 1) between Seelow and Müncheberg and at Beeskow on Bundesstrasse 87, where their ‘services’ cost around €20-50.

“The authorities know that they ultimately must endure the streetwalkers,” Uda Ludwig added to the ‘Märkische Allgemeine’.

Whether the community will actually resort to such dramatic means is unlikely, however.

The reason – prostitution has been legal since 2002.
