An eros center is a house ([[Laufhaus]]) or street (''Laufstraße'') where women can rent small one-room apartments for 80–150 euro per day.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.businessinsider.com/prostitution-is-legal-in-countries-across-europe-photos-2019-3|title=Prostitution is legal in countries across Europe, but it's nothing like what you think|work=Business Insider|date=13 March 2019}}</ref> Then they solicit customers from the open door or from behind a window. Prices are normally set by the prostitutes; they start at 250–500 euros for short-time sex. The money is not shared with the brothel owner. Security and meals are provided by the owner. The women may even live in their rooms, but most do not. Minors and women not working in the eros center are not allowed to enter. Eros centers exist in almost all larger German cities. The most famous is the ''[[Herbertstraße]]'' near the [[Reeperbahn]] in Hamburg. The largest brothel in Europe is the eros center ''[[Pascha (brothel)|Pascha]]'' in [[Cologne]], a 12-storey building with some 120 rooms for rent and several bars.
