Though everyone knows Germans love getting naked in public, when an American visiting Germany recently stripped to the buff and began traipsing throughout the city, local officials got angry. “We have been having unusually hot weather here lately but, all the same, we can’t have this,” a spokesman for police said. (Ha ha, he said “butt.”)
According to the unnamed 41-year-old traveler, he thought naked sightseeing was acceptable in Germany. For those of you in need of further clarification: though Germans enjoy nude sunbathing in public parks, prancing throughout the city with your clothes in a bag is not smiled upon by our Teutonic brethren. Just FYI.
Ultimately, the police made the man get dressed and pay a 200 euro ($269) deposit pending his investigation for indecent behavior.
I wonder if this will give rise to the new “extreme” sport of Naked Sightseeing.
