Veteran Hooker Becomes Local Landmark
.
Brigitte, a blond, big-bosomed prostitute with a heart of gold, has been plying her trade on the streets of Koblenz for 47 years. She's so well known now she even had a role in a promotional film for the region.
.
Come pouring rain, bitter cold, baking sun and everything in between, Brigitte -- no last names please -- practices the world's oldest profession and everyone in Koblenz knows her.
.
"I still have fun doing it," said Brigitte, who, like many ladies of a certain age, declines to reveal the exact year of her birth, although she'll admit she's somewhere in her mid-sixties.
.
She's become such a fixture in the city, that recently she had a role in an ironic film about the region, entitled "You Are Koblenz" along with other local celebrities.
.
"Hello you Koblenz people, this is your Brigittchen," she says on camera. She need say no more.
.
When she was younger, Brigitte trained to be a hairdresser, then worked in a police academy cafeteria and the hotel business. Finally, she decided to pursue a more horizontally-oriented profession. She's keeping mum about why.
.
Brigitte has become such a fixture in the town that tour guide Manfred Gniffke often takes visitor groups by her favorite spot.
.
After almost half a century, Brigitte still has her energy, although she says after about another decade she might decide to finally call it a night. She doesn't appear to be worried about getting lonely after she stops seeing clients, even though she's single. In fact, Brigitte says she's never wanted a husband.
.
"Rather than having a man to myself, I'd rather have a new one every 10 minutes," she said.
