Legal context
Public nudity in Germany is generally legal outside of sexual contexts. FKK (Freikörperkultur — Free Body Culture) is deeply embedded in German law and society. § 183 StGB (German Criminal Code) addresses "sexual self-determination" offences and requires lewd/sexual intent for prosecution, not mere nudity. German courts have consistently ruled that non-sexual public nudity does not violate § 183 or other statutes. Official FKK zones exist in lakes, rivers and designated beach areas throughout the country.
