When a lifeguard asked police to remove Lotte Mies for bathing topless at her local indoor swimming pool in Berlin it was a move that would inadvertently trigger a rule change allowing all women, including visiting female tourists, the freedom to go topless while swimming in the city.
The decision to change clothing rules around swimming in the German capital was made after two women, including Mies, filed complaints about being thrown out or barred from the city’s pools for refusing to cover up, and demanded the same rights as their male counterparts when bathing “oben-ohne” (topless) at the city’s public pools.
The move follows a similar incident in Berlin in 2021 in which a French woman living in the city, Gabrielle Lebreton, was ordered to leave a water park when she refused to cover up her breasts while sunbathing. It sparked a “no nipple is free until all nipples are free” protest, where women rode bikes topless and men wore bras to demonstrate against the double standard.
