I just strolled past the City Hall this morning, and it struck me that Albertine is virtually the only woman depicted on its wall. The other statues I saw depicted male workers — a blacksmith, a carpenter, a fisher etc — at work, in a slightly sovietesque style. I’m not sure what to make of the message it seems to convey — that men are workers and women whores?

Domenica, the famous prostitute from Hamburg, has recently been buried in the women’s garden of the town’s cemetery.
It’s a place where important women of the town are honored.
The tombstone will be designed by the famous artist Tomi Ungerer.
There were about 800 guests at the funeral march through the red-light-district.
