My understanding about the finances of PTs
[QUOTE=Johnny Z]In a Pauschalclub or Partytreff, the girls are obviously "on staff" in some way. Anyone know how they get paid. Per performance, per night, or some combination. And in general how much they might make? [/QUOTE]
Peter knows the FKK club financial picture from behind the scenes better than I do.
I've asked several times how the PT women and clubs make their money and from my understanding there is some kind of revenue sharing arrangement going on.
You pay typically 100 Euros to get in. There usually are (as least back in 2005 when I first visited PTs) six to eight women there.
My understanding is that for each guest that comes, they get something like 10 Euros per head. The rate probably varies with the type of event going on that day and the entrance fee pricing.
So if the club takes in 100 Euros and there are say seven women there, then the club has 30 Euros per guest to pay its overhead, food, drink and staff after paying the women.
If the club has 50 guests during the whole day, each chick takes home 500 Euros and the club has 1,500 Euros to pay its bills.
The women primary job to keep the guests satisfied. The well run PTs have a rule that if there is even one complaint the chick is tossed out on her ear.
This creates a team athmosphere between the women where they keep tabs on who among them isn't doing her share. At a PT like Dorsten the women double team you. They almost never take on men individually. She usually has a partner trying to facilitate the session. Its also a form of security for them should the dude turn out to be unruly. The quicker you come, the quicker they can take a break.
There are ways to offset this behavior by the way. I've spent many long hours just poking away with women I've connected well with a these clubs. I complain openly to them that I am not a cow who is there to be milked (they will milk you exactly as they would a cow if you let them - I have no doubt at all that some of them actually have milked cows, goats or sheep).
This brings to mind a sign which hangs in the bedroom near the front staircase at PT Mettmann which advertises milking equipment for a [i]Molkerei[/i]. I laughed hard the first time I saw it.
The clubs have found a way to have the women classified as independent contractors otherwise it creates all sorts of issues for them. They are not employees. This legal distinction is important.
At the PTs with closed doors such as PT Traumland there appears to be an incentive system at work. Each time you go to a room with a chick she collects a token (or jeton) and they count them at the end of the day. I've not figured out how they fees are shared at a club such as this yet. I asked Anja the last time I was there what it was about but she wouldn't explain.
A lot of these questions...
[QUOTE=Peter Shaww]Hi there, I am new to the German scene and I am looking for more upscale clubs that offer full service. I have a few questions, I hope you can help.
Q1: What is the difference between Nachtclubs, FKK Clubs and Sauns Clubs?
Q2: I was told the the Relax Nachtclub in Hamburg is the type of club I am looking for, but from the website, it doesn't seem to offer the services like the FKK clubs? What exactly is a Nachtclub?
Q3: If FKK clubs is what I should be looking for, can you recommend any upscale clubs in Frankfurt, Dusseldorf and Koln?
Q4: Apart from the above, I also saw Sauna Clubs on Google. What are Sauna Clubs???
Q5: I also read about facilities like Pascha in Koln, what is this?
Thank you in advance for your help! Look forward to hear from you.

... are answered in the FAQ I wrote up a month or so ago.
Here is the link:

I will not answer the questions answered in the FAQ but will answer questions which aren't answered by it.
A Nachtclub is a night club. Beware. This means that the women who work there do so on commission. If they can get you to order the 300 Euro bottle of champagne, they get a piece of that. They are also known as [i]Animierungsmaedchen[/i]. They are usually available for extracurricular activities but beware. It is going to cost you.
What is this about wanting an upscale experience? What do you mean by that exactly? Do you think that if you spend more money you get better service? How about just visiting a wallet extraction service or taking your dollar bills and burning them at a fireplace?
There was a club near the Dutch border, the Hindenburg, which supposedly meant to deliver an upscale experience. Everything cost more. There was to be good food and drink, the women were to be elegantly dressed. What was it exactly? A place for folks with money to burn or with an expense account.
I was having a discussion with Peter years ago when this concept was first introduced. The women received more money but could they be more nude, blow harder, screw more enthusiastically than they do for the standard rate of 50 Euros per session? Probably not.
I don't believe the club exists any more.
To find out about Relax, do a search for it using the search button. Hamburg is not a hot spot for FKK club activity. It lives off its reputation as a destination for sex (much like Amsterdam) but it mostly preys off tourists so the women have no incentive to provide good service.
Best FKK clubs to visit? Look over the club threads and make a list of the ones with the most posts. This would give you a list of the largest clubs with the most ISG visitors. They are, frankly, not clubs I visit but if you are new or speak no German you should stay on the beaten path anyway.
This is Londonbasketcase's list, z. B.

You seem to imply you want to only visit clubs which are more upscale than the ones we normally visit so I'm not sure these will meet your requirements. Again its use of the word "upscale" which has me wondering what you are looking for.
Pascha is a brothel similar the set up in the Frankfurt RLD or what they call a [i]Laufhaus[/i].
Check out the Partytreffs
[QUOTE=Peter Shaww]From the posts, looks like the top clubs are near Frankfurt, I am actually spending more time in the Dusseldorf/Koln area. Which fkk/sauna clubs will you recommend there? (I really hope to know your personal picks!)[/QUOTE]Düssseldorf/Köln is actually much better than Frankfurt.
(I live near Frankfurt.) Go to some Partytreff clubs:
Sara's, Dorsten, Mettmann.
Top clubs near Frankfurt?
[QUOTE=Peter Shaww]Thanks Peter and Jackyo!
I totally agree with your points regarding the clubs.
From the posts, looks like the top clubs are near Frankfurt, I am actually spending more time in the Dusseldorf/Koln area. Which fkk/sauna clubs will you recommend there? (I really hope to know your personal picks!)[/QUOTE]
That is debatable.
I hardly ever go down there and if you are going to be based in Duesseldorf/Koeln you will actually already be in the center of things in NRW.
Are you still committed to spending as much money as possible at an "upscale" club?
As I've said many times before, your best choice for a first time club is Samya which is within Koeln city limits. Decent club, selection, food and drink, facilities, low risk of being ripped off. There also is Sudbad but I've not read good things about it.
If you have a car (and considering you are a newbie and a tourist), you should do the [i]Grenzgebietclubs[/i]: Planet Happy Garden, Goldentime and Villa Vertigo.
That should keep you busy for a while.
The latter three are large, transactional clubs which are used to dealing with tourists.
You can also add Living Room to this list. Its just to the west of Duesseldorf.
When you are ready to visit smaller relationship-oriented clubs which cater to a mostly German-speaking local clientele let me know. You will find me at those clubs, not the ones I am sending you to. They are off the beaten path for newbies and tourists.
Bernds is one of them, z. B. but I don't recommend that newbies visit this club until they have a few other clubs under their belts.
Believe me, they will not be looking
[QUOTE=Peter Shaww]Since the FKK and Sauna clubs are all open, I am a bit worried about running into friends/business associates.
I am going to a large trade show, and a lot of my fellow businesses will be in the same town at the same time.
Any advice?[/QUOTE]
...at you, so no worries. If you do run into them at a club, they (and you) will have many more interesting things to contemplate. And just think of the unique camraderie and common ground that you will now have with them, which could be translated into commercial capital later.
Alot depends on where you are from. If you're from Asia this kind of business entertainment is part of doing business. If you're from Europe, they will look at you as a normal fresh-blooded male. On the other hand if you hail from the sex penitentiary that I call home (otherwise known in atlases as the US of A), the threat of your outing them will ensure their own discretion.
Really, don't see anything to worry about. I first learned about FKK's from a German business partner of mine. At first, I didn't believe him and had to overcome my own cultural barriers before I ventured forth to visit. After I finally discovered FKK joys, and was amazed by what I had discovered, I invited him for an FKK night out, and we went together to his favorite club, Atlantis, where I paid his entry and sessions fees as thanks. We've continued doing business together ever since, and at one point I was even his superior.
Your alternative to the "open" FKK clubs is to go to a bordello. There are lots of them in the Cologne/Dusseldorf area. In fact, the local edition of the Bild will have a whole page of advertisements for these houses. One of the best is off the A52 highway which runs between Cologne and Bonn, Traum Paradies in Spich. Nice rooms, good service, and very discrete. Oh, and because this seems important to you, very upscale.
They will not buzz you in unless the entry way is free of other customers and let you out of a side door when you're done. There's usually 10-15 women on duty at any given time, and while they may not be the top model type lookers like you would find at the big FKK/sauna clubs, most are very attractive and attentive. In the privacy of a room, they will parade in to say hello and their name, and you get to choose which of the available women you would like to spend time with. Most of the other private houses will work the same way.
Njoy and report...
