In December 2015, Bremen was the first ‘Land’ to adopt the amendment of the Bremen Statute on Restaurants and Pubs, so that discrimination when entering a nightclub on account of (ascribed) ethic origin, disability, sexual or gender orientation, religion or ideology could be punished with a fine of up to 5.000 €. If a person is discriminated against for the same reasons while s/he is in a pub or a restaurant, that conduct can also be sanctioned.
