Sex Mit Herz

Arabella House, near the West German city of Kaiserslautern, is a well-kept building with 72 single-room-and-bath apartments and such amenities as tennis courts, bowling alleys, beer cellar, nightclub, sauna, solarium--and a fully equipped room for sadomasochists. Arabella is what its operator, Kurt Kohls of Ulm, likes to call an "Eros center" and what almost everyone else would call a brothel. Kohls already runs four such centers in West Germany and Austria, and hopes to open other Arabellas in Luxembourg, Holland, Hungary, Yugoslavia and East Berlin.

Promoter Kohls sees himself as a benefactor to all mankind. He says that he has raised houses of prostitution to a "socially more human level," and that his hostesses or, as he describes them, "Erostesses," offer their clients "sex mit Herz"-- sex with a heart. He is tenderly considerate of his tenants: "I want to take crime out of prostitution by giving the girls a pleasant, hotel-like atmosphere," he asserts. In fact. Kohls is no pimp. Although "the girls" pay him $22 a day for room and board, he does not share in their earnings (fees aver age between $150 and $200). To ensure the girls' safety. Kohls has installed an alarm button in each room. To make life easier for the girls with children, Kohls plans soon to set up nurseries at each Eros center.

The girls and their customers are not the only ones involved in Kohls' scheme. There are also the 300 investors from Germany (and from five other European countries) who have so far put $9.2 million into the Annabella venture for a guaranteed annual return of 9%. To recruit additional investors. Kohls distributes a prospectus decorated with red hearts and inscribed: "The oldest profession in the world is also the solidest." Among those who agree: a middle-aged Munich vegetable vendor who sold her stand and put the proceeds into Kohls' centers with the explanation that "I worked hard all my life. Let others work for me now."
