[6] The house is open 24 hours a day; customers of the prostitutes pay an entrance fee of 5 Euro and then negotiate directly with the women, who work independently and keep all of the money.
[7] In June 2003, a Thai sex worker was stabbed to death by a customer in the Pascha; she managed to press the alarm button in her room and security personnel caught the murderer.
[9] In 2004, a German prostitute claimed that Eminem visited the brothel before taking her back to another nearby hotel for sex.
[10] After a police raid of the brothel in April 2005, it was reported that a gun and some cocaine was found and 23 people were arrested, most of them because of suspected violation of immigration laws.
[12] It was reported that, in August 2005, two women, 19 and 29 years old, had rented two rooms in the Pascha and announced over the internet that they would pay any man 50 Euro for sex; the goal was to find out who could have more partners in one day.
The women insisted that they had paid the men from their own vacation money and had not received any compensation from Bild or Pascha.
[14][15] In March 2007, the Pascha announced that senior citizens above the age of 66 would receive a discount during afternoons; half of the price of 50 Euro for a "normal session" would be covered by the house.
[16] In September 2007, a Turkish customer tried to set fire to the Pascha by igniting gasoline in the entrance area; he also carried a number of Molotov cocktails.
[21] On Mother's Day 2011, the brothel organised a tour for women; female guests are normally not admitted to the establishment.
Prostitution was outlawed in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia from the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak, which led to authorities repeatedly renewing fortnightly closure orders.
This, according to owner Armin Lobscheid, made it impossible to continue the business or make financial plans.
The film features interviews with the manager, an employee, a prostitute, a customer and some footage of a rooftop orgy at the brothel.
