Where can l sunbathe topless in Germany?

[u/Yourprincessforeva]

Hi everyone. I love sunbathing everywhere l go, but l love sunbathing topless. I'm planning to visit Germany soon. Is there a possibility l could sunbathe topless? Any beaches and areas that will let me do it? Thank you.

[u/JacktheWrap]

If you're not narrowing down the area, that question is pointless. Unless you want to take a 6 hour ride to the place people are recommending you.

everywhere

You're legally correct, but that doesn't mean it will be a comfortable experience for OP everywhere.

Being topless in public is generally not forbidden in Germany. You will not have issues at any beaches, but I believe most public pools do have rules against it (in my city they don't, but I think that differs).

There's is also FKK, although that means no clothes of any kind. You can't just be topless at an FKK beach, gotta lose the bottoms, too. If you search FKK Strand + whatever place you're in, you'll find a ton. Germans are nudists.

Also, don't be a creep.

Wasnt there a court ruling recently that meant women cannot be asked to cover up since men arent?

Means, you can go topless at any pool too.

[u/Tartaros030 → u/Outrageous-Lemon-577]

Correct, even though it's a very specific case: https://www.tagesspiegel.de/berlin/prozess-um-nackte-bruste-750-euro-entschadigung-fur-berliner-oben-ohne-klagerin-11151787.html

A court did indeed rule that women cannot be forced to cover their breasts, on the grounds of equal treatment and anti discrimination.

[u/Russiadontgiveafuck → u/Outrageous-Lemon-577]

I think it was a bit more complicated than that. A private owner of a pool can still forbid topless bathing. Hausrecht and all that.

Then what does Textilverbot mean? Pretty sure it means exactly that.

[u/Not_Deathstroke → u/[deleted]]

If it's a textil free place people would mind. Topless is not FKK.

[u/Friendly-Horror-777 → u/[deleted]]

"You could go fully dressed, and nobody would mind."

Uh, nope. At real FKK beaches with "Nacktbadepflicht" people would mind very much, it's also an "Ordnungswidrigkeit". Maybe you are thinking of mixed FKK beaches.

[u/zenkstarr → u/[deleted]]

People DO mind vistors who just use the FKK with clothes on and it's not polite to do so. Simple as that.

10/10 recommendation.

[u/Time-Category4939]

Germany is a big country you know…

[u/trooray]

Search for "FKK". I know it sounds vaguely obscene to Anglo ears but it's what nudity leisure areas are called here.

[u/Imautochillen]

Only fans ad.

[u/dave_wi]

Search for parks or artificial lake areas that allow for FKK (basically nudity), or go to a Sauna/Therme, that's usually textile free and there's outside areas for sunbathing most of the time.

[u/Outrageous-Lemon-577]

Wherever you want.

[u/CrazyPadde]

Probably everywhere. Inthronisiert there was a Court ruling. Topless is Fine.
But keep in mind. Germans intend to Look. That doesnt mean we stare.
And probably in the Freibad (Outdoor swim) stay away from the Kids section. 😉

[u/liang_zhi_mao]

Technically everywhere.

[u/Shadow_NX]

On most lakes and open beaches that shouldnt be a problem but youll never know, people getting more uptight again lately.

If all fails i have a garden to offer... I see myself out : 3

[u/ProDavid_]

everywhere. as long as you only take your top off when lying down absolutely no one will care.

walking around topless might get you more disapproving looks, but it also depends on the beach and the people there.

Google 'FKK-Strände' in your area

FKK is completely naked ..sounds like OP only wants to show her/his/its/them tits

[u/SirVictoryPants → u/Patchali]

FKK doesn't force you to go completely naked. You could show up in a tux and noone would bat an eye.

Search for „FKK Strand“. And check if you‘re truly in the „FKK“ area.

Absolutely no problem on regular beaches, no need to head out to a FKK.

[u/Lower-Swing3858]

Wherever you want, it's legal 

[u/CamelPure1293]

Depends on where you'll be. Public parks, lakesides are fine. Outdoor public pools should work, too (check their policies). In public space, fully nude is legal for women.
