City of Bonn

City requests relocation of the street promenade

The City of Bonn will apply to the Cologne district government to relocate the street prostitution service. It will move from Immenburgstraße to a private site in the street "Am Dickobskreuz". On August 22, the Bonn City Council instructed the administration to apply for the relocation and an amendment to the associated restricted area ordinance.

The guarded premises are currently located on Immenburgstraße. However, the approach zone, where the sex workers offer their services, is located along Immenburgstraße. This means that they can come into contact with passers-by, especially young people, or be approached by young people. There is also a risk that street prostitution will move to neighboring streets and can no longer be controlled.

In future, the solicitation zone in the street "Am Dickobskreuz" will be integrated into the much larger area of the new premises. In future, contact will no longer take place in the public street area, but on private property. This will largely prevent harassment of passers-by, not just young people. This is because in order to use the sexual services in future, people will have to enter the premises located away from the public areas.

Background

The entire area between the streets Immenburgstraße, Am Dickobskreuz and the railroad line is being developed and extensively reorganized. As part of the planned future use and structural changes, it will be necessary to relocate the road.
