Herrchens-Erotikwelt sits on Berliner Freiheit, between the Kennedy Bridge and Bertha-von-Suttner-Platz. By its own account it has more than forty years in the erotic trade. The shop stocks toys, fetish articles and clothing from the established brands, and says it will order in what is not on the shelf.
Behind the shop there is a cinema area. The sign above the shopfront states that women and non-binary visitors are welcome as well as men. The second entrance, with a bell, is round the back of the building.
The house rules are posted and the staff enforce them. Showers are on site and guests are asked to turn up clean. No means no. Drugs are not tolerated, and neither is prostitution. Photography and filming are not allowed unless you have taken the space privately, and smoking is confined to the rear entrance.
