I was in Sharks and Oase for a few days last week. The heat was debilitating.
In Oase, when I approached some girls I had not tried before, they wanted 150/30. One not exceptionally pretty one wanted 200/30! So, I stuck to my regulars. Advantage of Oase over Sharks last week was a surfeit of empty cold rooms to get away from the heat. Zero wait time.
In Sharks, new girls I approached asked for 100/30, 200/30. A few agreed to 150/60. Thus Sharks wins hands down on pricing and quantity of reasonably pretty girls. Quite a few pretty new ones. Downside is that the new ones do not stay long due to tough competition. 2 new ones whom I tried last month had already left.
The rooms upstairs were unbearably hot (except the window rooms). Those downstairs were unbearably cold. The enclosed huts in the garden were like a furnace, while the non-enclosed (curtained) ones were fully occupied. Queuing for rooms and for coffee in the heat was no joke!
The self-service coffee machine was often out of order, and they seemed short of bar counter staff. Waiting time was worsened on 2 of the days when that old short slow-moving grouchy hag was back on duty.
Sorry, first sentence in para 3 of my post below should obviously be:
In Sharks, new girls I approached asked for 100/30 and 200/60.
Ugh! This heat is unbearable and there so few places with ACs!
Can anyone list FKKs that has decent AC (Air Conditioning) ?

Girls were totally naked around the Oase pool whilst they are covered up inside the club.
Girls in Sharks are mostly naked indoors (albeit with some body decorations), but total naked outside. However, the pool there feels constricted as it is surrounded by sheds / huts (compared to the Oase pool with open surroundings). Last Monday though, I enjoyed watching a girls-versus-customers volleyball match in the Sharks pool as their jiggling boobs when they struck the ball were a sight to behold.
I did not visit Globe or Mainhatten during this trip, but their pools are small and usually with nothing much happening. Pool at Globe is on their small rooftop with no view.
During its heyday, FKK World’s outdoor pool used to be a nice place to hang around to watch pretty nude girls tanning. I was almost tempted to visit FKK World last week, but as there were so many train breakdowns, I decided not to risk going there and being stranded in Giessen; especially since I do not know whether their line up as improved (no reports from this or other forums for a long time).

I miss FKK World. Curious how they ended up never recovering post-covid whilst almost all others have.
Sharks pool scene is top notch this summer. Girls look good by the pool and they know it. BBQ is on point. Tip to the newbies - don't approach a girl who is playing/chilling by the pool to ask for a room. She paid more than you to enter the club that day and has clearly made a decision to take some time off to tan/swim/play and in doing so seeding some pre-sales marketing. Wait till she is back in her battle armor (make-up, shoes, hair) and on the shop floor looking for business. Approaching her by the pool just proves to her that you are a dunce. I'd equate it to interrupting a girl's meal in the dining room to ask for sex.
Oase landscape is nice sure, but girls nowhere near Sharks quality. Interestingly however I keep seeing more and more customers coming as couples (male+female). It's unique to Oase and maybe something they should hone in on.

I recall now that the Globe rooftop garden has no pool.
FKK World already died before Covid when their strict regime of working times and days for the girls led to an exodus of their better girls to a Sharks and Oase. And when they started charging for beer, food and towels, the club atmosphere was gone. No reason for them to recover.
There was a middle-aged couple in Oase last Saturday. The lady had her robe on at all the times I saw her. When couples went to FKK World in the past, they were au natural in the garden. One day, I think I will try to persuade one of my favourites from Sharks or Oase to come with me to World to frolic naked in the garden.

Love these details.
This summer I have have spent most of my time at the Oase and Sharks gardens. Summer with temperatures in the 30s C (90s F) is the time of year when the gardens really come alive. No clothes (thank you!), lots of girls and guys sunbathing and playing in the pool, lots of smiles, both clubs are giving away free ice creams. Everything is so relaxed. Just love it.
If it is cold and rainy, the ambience is totally different of course. There is no outdoor buffet, and the girls stay inside.
The area around the Sharks pool is smaller and cramped due to the hedges. Most of the time 5- 10 girls IME. Small / cramped means more intimate, which is a quality I like, but lacks the overview. Oase pool is more spacious and can often feel empty, but boy does that garden comes to life when there is a heatwave and the girls come out. Perhaps 20- 25 girls around the pool in the afternoon. Just amazing. One clear advantage at Oase is the "catwalk" to the outside restaurant that make sure that all girls must pass the pool to get their lunch or dinner. This is a perfect time to evalutate the lineup.
IMHO I do not see that much of a difference in the quality of the Sharks vs Oase lineup. You can clearly see who is relaxing and who is working. I find it easy to make smalltalk and perhaps indicate your interest in a girl for a later hookup in the evening. I have even observed and participated in "light" public sex in the garden (both at Oase and Sharks).
Both Sharks and Oase have a / see in the main rooms, I believe, but neither of them seem willing to put it on. Saving money on electricity, I guess. Sharks indoors is just unbearable in the heat. Some rooms have a / see thankfully, but easier to find a room with a / see at Oase, yes.

Mainly because (I) my regulars have quit, (ii) new girls now charge the same as at Oase and Sharks (while they used to have the advantage of being less expensive), and (iii) while the lineup always have had some new interesting quality bodies (see my reports of last year) I have not been able to find someone to replace my regulars (lack of quality performance at a normal price) (contrary to my luck at Oase and Sharks).
World had its heydays from 2004- 2014, and is now a club for locals. No need for the international traveller to make the extra effort to Giessen/Garbenteich. Rumours from 2024 about 40 girls is gone, and I believe the numbers now are back peaking in the 20- 30 range (compare that to 40- 60 at Oase and 80- 120 at Sharks). The club has more rooms than girls, and the biggest garden in Hessen feel much too empty. That should tell you something.
Note: The downstairs at World used to have the coldest a / see in Hessen. Then again, I cannot verify that this is still the case in 2025 (no visits).

[/QUOTE]Absolutely!
Some faces that are presentable in the dim lights within appear very disappointing under the bright sunlight. Those with goldfish lips become especially undesirable as the vertical sunlight accentuates the protrusion.
Last week was the first time I saw a voyeur in Sharks. Spotted him peeping through the hedge to observe a couple making out in the relatively open huts (with the transparent muslin curtains) near the toilet. He ran off when he saw my girl and I approaching.
This happens all the time on Tuesdays at Globe. And it happened to me twice in one of the beds in the World garden. But I had always assumed this would not happen in Sharks.

Thankfully these are rare cases which I nearly have not experienced in my 20 years of FKKing at the German clubs. Everything is so relaxed. Nobody cares if you have sex in the open spaces of the garden.
(I believe there used to be other type of clubs in Berlin specialized for peeping toms? Or any other gang bang event would be more suitable, I think)
The girls are used to gents looking at them all the time by the pool / in the garden (or in any other meeting areas). It is not only accepted but also appreciated. You risk getting an inviting smile back (contrary to what would happen at a public beach).
But these working girls also have their limits. I recently observed one girl scolding a gent at the Sharks pool for perving on her. He had be sitting only a few feet away from her ogling at her for long time. "Go away!! You have been looking at me for hours with no intention of taking me to the room. Get lost!". He obeyed totally embarrassed. The girl had my sympathy 100%. Don't be that guy.

Don't be that guy.[/QUOTE]About 8-9 years ago, in World, there was a guy whom I often saw sitting on a chair at the end of the corridor (with rooms on both sides) which we walk through after coming down the staircase to the lower level (before we turn right to the indoor pool).
Most times he would be wanking away. The girls told me that he wanks only when he finds the girl walking past attractive, and that he does not take any girl to the room at all. Surprisingly, all the girls I spoke to did not mind this, and said that they felt dismayed when he did not wank when they walked past him!
Did you ever see him? I had seen him wanking at least 10 times (over a span of 2-3 years); he probably liked the girls I went with.

Those two chairs were my fav spot. You had clear view of the bar, good lighting to inspect the goods of girls walking by and a room on either side for quick snatch and grabs if a target comes nearby at the right time.
No, I'm not your wanker. I have never seen him. Nor do I judge how people want to get their kicks. But I do not like fools taking up valuable real estate all day. I'm thinking about the old retirees who park up on the couches near the lockers at Sharks. Hours and hours they sit there. That's a good spot for scoping targets.

He was present whenever that very pretty girl called Janine was present. Janine sat on the couch opposite him, and 2 of her permanent suitors would flank her. They thus hog almost the whole front array of couches for about 3 hours at night at the peak time.
That is the ultimate in sterilising prime real estate. Those who patronise Sharks at that time would remember that group of non-retirees.
