Berlin school installs anti-prostitute fence
A construction boom is pushing sex workers into the sidestreets and onto the doorsteps of schools. One school is fed up with its premises being invaded by unscrupulous characters.
A Berlin school finished building a 1.8-meter (5-feet-11-inch) fence to keep street prostitutes out of its campus, local media reported on Tuesday.
The Französisches Gymnasium highschool lies on a sidestreet of the German capital's notorious Kurfürstenstraße. The street is a relatively major thoroughfare through Berlin's inner west, but is also the center of the city's street prostitution scene.
Prostitutes can be seen soliciting clients at all hours of the day there. A build-up of discarded condoms and syringes, as well as excrement, were evidence that the school grounds were being used in unsavory ways.
"There were always complaints about unscrupulous characters including prostitutes walking shamelessly and illegally into school grounds even during the day," the district school inspector Carsten Spallek told the daily Berliner Zeitung.
