Madame flies flag for brothel


A German madame has been taken to court for hoisting the national flag that once fluttered above the country's Reichstag parliament building onto the roof of her brothel.

Christine Schmittroth, manager of a bordello in the eastern town of Halle, bought the flag in the first online auction of its kind organised by Germany's cash-strapped government.
