Sunbathing naked in public parks in Germany

Well to be honest this depends.

There are special "FKK" areas at German beaches and parks.

In general as a male you can go topless nearly everywhere. As a female you can go topless in parks or at beaches but if somebody feels disturbed he can report you and you may get banned from a certain area.

I am talking about places for sunbathing. If you go naked on public transit I guess there will come some nice guys with white jackets for you.

Here is a link where most of the places are listed. You may need the German names of the places you want to go:

It's a matter of state-level and local regulations. For Bavaria, the Badeverordnung says:

• Who bathes publically must wear bathing clothes. This includes sunbathing.
• "public" means publically accessible or visible without special effort. (i.e. including your own backyard if visible from the street)
• Exceptions are:
  • Children up to 6 years old
  • places where people can reasonably assume that they will not be seen (i.e. in the middle of nowhere).
• Commmunities can designate areas where nude bathing is allowed provided that these areas are marked as such, the owner agrees and there are enough other public bathing opportunities in the vicinity.
• If you bathe without bathing clothes you can be fined.

The second to last part is where "some parts of some parks" comes in.

I tried to find similar regulations for other states, but it's proving difficult. There are websites like http://www.nacktbaden.de that list places where nude bathing is allowed, but this is not authoritative information. This isn't considered a big problem, though; as Thorsten S. writes the worst thing that is likely to happen is that someone complains and you get asked to put on clothes by the police.

You should just go where other people are already sunbathing naked, and you are good. Personally I have not seen people sunbathing naked in inner-city parks so I would advice against it; but it is common in or near public pools (one pool in the town I used to live in had an all-nude day once a week), lakes, some campsites or the beaches sea; but they usually have designated nude and non-nude areas with signs in place.

I don't think people would get offended or "feel disturbed" as Michael pointed out. Nudity is quite common on TV, billboards and advertising, so it's nothing exceptional or unexpected.
