Havel-Therme Tightens Entry Rules With Gender-Ratio Cap and Group Pre-Registration

Management attributes the move to harassment reports alongside an alleged parking-lot knife incident.

Overview

  • The spa in Werder, Brandenburg now limits one gender from exceeding the other by more than 20%, triggering temporary admission stops once the threshold is reached.
  • Groups of three or more must request entry by email at least two days in advance, with families with children exempt from this requirement.
  • Online tickets no longer guarantee entry, and access may be refused regardless of overall occupancy.
  • A security service is deployed to enforce the measures, which the operator says were coordinated with police and authorities.
  • The operator reports broadly supportive visitor feedback, with many women saying they feel more comfortable under the new rules.
