It’s only fair, if men have the right to go topless, so should women.
Well, title is misleading. Women always had the right to go topless, however they were denied that equal right by public servants. This was enforced now by a court of law.
Isn’t breast support one of the main reasons for upper body women swimwear? Wouldn’t men also wear support for activities if they had breasts?
This is all a bit silly tbh.
I love Europe.
Looks like I have to revise my opinion of Berlin ever so slightly 😉
Interesting. I didnt know that this was Ländersache.

You guys should provide proof also, we need pictures!
One day… A photo of a sub like this will be with a topless woman jumping in the pool without the need to be tagged NSFW.
Used to regular at places like this and I had a massive issue with topless…….
hairy old men in the sauna squeezing in between me and the wall and then sweating out a months worth of sausage and beer like an alcoholic carpet.
Oh god why 😅 men at berlin pools are already creepy enough
I wonder if it even will change anything.
I doubt a lot of women wear a top because they are forced to.
Maybe there will be some trouble with perverted creeps or religious people, but other than that I will probably never again hear anything about this.
Who goes public swimming in Berlin? You will have at least one boxfight on the way to the pool
Plot Twist: The only ones that will, really shouldn’t.
Dudes in the comments being top notch creepers already and/or muhh soggy ol tiddies they haven’t even seen yet. As if FKK and sauna did not exist in Germany.
As a woman i would rather have men wear a top, than us removing it
The strangest thing here is how much attention this has attracted. I mean everybody is already completely naked in public sauna. Also the FKK is a thing in Germany in general. With this in mind optionally topless women in public pools does not look like much of a revolution.
I’m actually surprised that isn’t a thing already.
I think it is a good thing, however i am scared for the poor women already who will get harassed and stared at just because you can see their boobs. Unfortunately some men dont understand that being naked is not an invitation to touch.
My friends! I’m moving to berlin
just to point out, most outdoor pools have large grassy leisure areas with people relaxing, playing, sunbathing etc. they wouldnt be intruding on your vision unless you specifically walked over to them although there might be a few by the poolside. i dont think ive ever seen anyone swimming topless, or anywhere in an indoor pool.
Nice. Let them, if they want to.
I’d prefer bottomless to prevent infections.
It’s forbidden? I thought that Germany was very liberal with these kind of things
It’s a nice gesture, to give the option, but women will no doubtedly keep their tops on, because the culture of swimming pools is not ready for that.
In Canada, this has been *de facto* mostly legal since the 90s (depending on the province) due to similar legal cases. Women in Canada can walk topless down the street, on beaches, in parks, etc. if they want. Pools, as private property, can forbid it, but some public pools have been challenged on that, and in some cities, it is allowed. It’s not very common though, certainly not in winter…
but will they (women)? Just saying last time I saw a post about berlin swimming pools, definitely not safe for them

This will be interesting at Sommerbad Neukölln next to the mosque. 🌈👍
