Artemis is one of the largest brothels in Germany, where prostitution and brothels are legal and widespread. The "wellness" brothel opened in Berlin in September , a four-story building complete with a pool , three saunas , two cinemas, and with room for up to 70 prostitutes and customers.
Some newspaper articles have pointed out that the brothel's name is somewhat blasphemous, as Artemis was a goddess in Greek mythology who pledged to remain a chaste virgin.
It is a little more than two kilometres from Berlin's Olympic stadium , famous for hosting the Olympics and the venue for several games of the FIFA World Cup.
Artemis is organized as a sauna club, similar to several other German brothels: both customers and prostitutes pay an entry fee and can then use the facilities for 24 hours.
The entrance fee is 80 Euros; half an hour sex costs 60 Euros. Alcoholic beverages can be purchased at the bar and start at EUR 10 for a beer. Fifty women work on a typical night; they are mostly nude or near nude, except on certain days such as Wednesday, which is "lingerie day".
