Policing pimping
À partir de l’analyse de la couverture médiatique de la violence des proxénètes et des rivalités présumées entre gangs à Vienne et à Hambourg, cet article examine de manière critique les descriptions sensationnalistes vis-à-vis des rapports de police de l’époque. Il va au-delà de leur attrait en tant que matière première pour les thrillers policiers, afin d’explorer les enseignements que ces « guerres des proxénètes » peuvent offrir sur la répres…
Prostitution as Profession
In West German law, selling sex was held to be legal but ‘immoral’, a definition that prevented its recognition or protection as a profession. Despite this categorisation, however, women (and men) sold sex in streets, bars and backrooms across the country. They developed routines and relationships to manage their trade, while being excluded from many welfare state provisions and targeted by local police, health or welfare departments. Rising pros…
Incarceration as welfare
Despite the rights and protections enshrined in its new constitution, the West German state confined beggars, alcoholics, convicted prostitutes and vagrants in workhouses on criminal sentences until 1969. Using administrative and inmate files, alongside local press coverage, this article turns to the largest remaining workhouse in West Germany, Brauweiler, between 1950 and 1969 and considers the internment of women arrested under the ‘correctiona…
Vice and Immoral Spaces
In the aftermath of the Second World War, local authorities across West Germany implemented Sperrbezirke, or restricted areas for prostitution. These restricted areas became a central element of Germany's system of managing commercial sex. This article considers both the legacies of former systems of state-regulated prostitution in the development of Sperrbezirke and regional variations in restricted-area regulations since the 1960s. It examines …
The Chronicle Must Tell How It Once Was’
To ‘pass on a bit of recent history’, members of Hamburg’s vice police, or Sitte, gradually assembled a six-volume chronicle covering the period 1945 to 1982. The authors documented promotions, retirements, joint trips and work parties, but they also recorded the work of the department, illustrated through case notes and commentary on pimping, prostitution, pornography, drug use, paedophilia and incest. This article examines the treatment and dep…
Cleaning up the cityscape’
The article uses police and city administration files to explore the local level management of commercial sex in Cologne between the years 1956 and 1972, which was increasingly determined by processes of concealment, displacement and segregation. Of particular interest is the Sperrbezirk or ‘restricted area’ intended to banish women selling sex from public view, which is viewed historically in combination with the tolerance of so-called ‘prostitu…
