“The adopted decision creates equal rights for all Berliners, whether they are men, women or non-binary persons, and also creates legal certainty for bath staff”, the Berlin City Hall said.

The reason for the change was a complaint about gender discrimination to the city council. A resident of Berlin was forbidden to swim in the pool without the top of a swimsuit, despite the absence of official bans.

In the statement, the woman indicated that the rules for using the pools include the wearing of bathing suits without specifying the restrictions and gender.

The city council of the German capital responded to the complaint, specifying in the rules that “female persons, as well as persons with breasts perceived as female” may not wear the top of a swimsuit in city pools.
