If you are from Germany you&#8217;ll know what these shops sell, so you&#8217;ll know why we, as Brits, were amazed to see one on a retail park. If, like us, you&#8217;d never heard of them before, think Ann Summers but with a much better background story. The reason we first noticed the shop was because the name crept up yesterday when Jay was doing research into Flensburg for his blog post (you don&#8217;t seriously think we know everything&nbsp;we write about?). We&#8217;d discovered that&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.beate-uhse.ag\/index.php\/the-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Beate Uhse<\/a> was a the only female stunt pilot in Germany in the 1930&#8217;s and in 1962, she put Flensburg on the map, when she opened a &#8220;speciality store for marital hygiene&#8221; &nbsp;&#8211; the first &#8216;Adult Shop&#8217; in the world. We pondered how strange it is that &#8216;straight-laced&#8217; Germany holds this honour and not somewhere more openly passionate like Spain or Italy. I guess the strong Catholic religion would have put a stop to it? With the company listed on the German Stock Exchange since 1999, I guess all things in fifty shades of grey are more widely accepted here than in the UK.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-24885\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC03619-1024x541-1024x541.jpg\" alt=\"Beate Uhse Shop Flensburg\" width=\"620\" height=\"328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC03619-1024x541.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC03619-1024x541-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC03619-1024x541-768x406.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Our trip to the motorhome dealers proved unfruitful, not a leisure battery in sight.

I had taken Zagan&#8217;s documents with us as we were hoping to get an <em>umweltzone<\/em> sticker for him. Many Germany cities have an <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.environmental-badge.co.uk\/en\/environmental-badge.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">umweltzone<\/a><\/em> in them, a bit like London&#8217;s congestion charge, it is to reduce emissions by stopping old and dirty vehicles&nbsp;from entering them. Cities in the scheme have a sign as you enter them telling you what colour sticker you need to be able to drive in. Green is the best (at the moment I think, with technology moving on there may be another colour coming out) and with that you can get in everywhere. The yellow, then red then no sticker. Dave, our previous motorhome, had no sticker, so it was squeaky bum time when we had to drive into the umweltzone to <a href=\"http:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/the-end-of-an-era-in-dortmund\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">collect a part from a motorhome dealer<\/a> inDortmund.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing that a sticker was \u20ac5, but with no idea where we could one&nbsp;from, the website just said authorised garages, I wandered into the first dealership I saw and tried out my schoolgirl German. For reasons that will become clear I won&#8217;t name them, but at first they were shocked that I wanted a sticker, assuming foreign vehicles don&#8217;t need them. I explained that I had looked it up and we did need one, so they tried their best to help, but sadly the UK documents don&#8217;t have the information they needed to be able to assign a colour of sticker to us. After much discussion, between me and three of their staff they asked if we had a particle filter on Zagan. I popped outside to ask Jay (who was watching Charlie) and like me, he had no idea, so all we could say was that nothing had been fitted after Zagan&nbsp;was made. With this they smiled, probably realising how much time they had spent on this and how they were going to get nowhere, and sold us a green sticker. So no more squeaky bum time as we approach cities &#8211; yipee!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_24891\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24891\" class=\"size-large wp-image-24891\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_20161025_155912315-1024x478-1024x478.jpg\" alt=\"umweltzone sticker\" width=\"620\" height=\"289\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_20161025_155912315-1024x478.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_20161025_155912315-1024x478-300x140.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_20161025_155912315-1024x478-768x359.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-24891\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">We&#8217;re Green &#8211; how happy are we?<\/p><\/div>\n<p>After a look around the rest of the town, we headed back to Zagan and cracked open a beer and some wine to celebrate.
