It is now forbidden to enter nudist beaches in Germany wearing swimsuits. One of the first to introduce this ban was the municipality of Rostock. Guards have been authorized to deny entry to people in swimwear to areas specifically designated for those wishing to merge with nature in a naked state. Politely, but firmly, dressed tourists will be offered either to undress or move to another section of the coast.
This decision was made in response to "numerous complaints from people who began to feel persecuted in nudist areas," explained the Rostock tourism department.
In recent years, the number of official nudist beaches on the Baltic coast of Germany has decreased by a third. Adherents of nudism are concerned about the decline in the popularity of the cult of the naked body. This trend is especially strong among young people.
The confrontation between nudists and tourists in swimsuits began back in the 19th century—the time of the emergence of the culture of the naked body in Germany. It was then that the philosophy of merging with nature in a completely natural form arose in the German environment. Beaches, parks, and hiking trails intended for nudists appeared here.
Since then, naturists have complained about discrimination. However, it seems that the times have come when people committed to a more traditional form of recreation are being subjected to oppression.
