CHRISTINE SCHMITTROTH, THE MANAGERESS OF A BROTHEL IN HALLE SHOWS A CERTIFICATE FOR A GERMAN NATIONAL FLAG FORMERLY ADORNING THE BERLIN REICHSTAG. Christine Schmittroth (C), manageress of the X-Carree bordello displays a certificate for a German national flag formerly adorning the lower house of parliament in Berlin together with Janine (R) and Juliane in the eastern German city of Halle June 21, 2004. The German flag which once adorned the heights of the country's Reichstag parliament building was acquired by the brothel after outbidding competitors for it in the first ever online auction of its sort, organised by Germany's cash-strapped government.
