Women Can Now Swim Topless In Berlin’s Swimming Pools
Women in Berlin can now swim topless in the city’s public pools if they choose to — just as men can.
As well as being hailed as a step forward for gender equality in the German capital, the measure introduced this week is symptomatic of Germany’s love of Freikoerperkultur — literally translated as ‘free body culture’ — which has its roots in the late 19th century.
Berlin’s authorities took action after a female swimmer said she was prevented from attending one of the city’s pools without covering her chest in December 2022.

The woman lodged a complaint with the city’s ombudsman’s office at the Senate Department for Justice, Diversity and Anti-Discrimination.
Authorities agreed that the woman had been a victim of discrimination and this week said that all visitors to Berlin’s pools, including women and those who identify as non-binary, are permitted to go topless.
“Guest I’ll be going to Berlin this summer. Do I need a pool pass or all patrons welcome,” someone commented. “Spring break in Berlin fck Miami,” another person wrote.
“Do the pools come with lotion booths asking for a friend.” “Let them cook let them cook,” someone else joked.
