Job centre offers woman employment in a brothel
A Berlin woman has complained after receiving an offer from her local job centre to work at a brothel.
The 25-year-old unemployed woman received a letter offering her a job as a barmaid, and was told to get in contact with her potential employer.
But when she looked up the company's website, she found its services included "hot kisses, tender and cuddly massages or uninhibited sex".
The head of Berlin job centres, Olaf Moeller, has apologised for the fact staff passed on the offer, the Tagesspiegel writes.
He said a vacancy for a bar tender hadn't struck them as anything out of the ordinary.
"In a metropolis like Berlin, you don't automatically think that this might be a dubious offer," he said.
He said jobcentres were legally permitted to pass on offers for work as a prostitute in Germany, but did not do so as a matter of principle.
Mr Moeller added that the woman was not obliged to accept the job.
