Henry's Show Center

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Henry's Show Center was the first peep show in Europe. It was opened in 1976 by the Munich entrepreneur Walter Staudinger on Bayerstrasse near the main train station.

Staudinger brought the idea for a peep show from New York City . According to stories, he obtained approval from the district administration department on the pretext of wanting to build a stage for nude models with booths for penniless painters. From the USA he imported 21 plastic-coated one-man cabins with peep windows that could be locked from the inside. The only equipment was a coat hook. He arranged the cabins in a circle around an illuminated turntable. For the price of 1 D-Mark , customers were given a view of the turntable, where 14 naked girls showed themselves one after the other for five minutes each day and night.

Until 2009 there was a Beate Uhse branch in the center .
