Prostitution in Germany is fully legal - sex workers have access to health care and (should) pay taxes. The Saarland, a state bordering France, has the heighest brothel concentration in Germany, due to french visitors coming to use the services. In practice, the offering of social insurance is hardly used, and I would say you will have a hard time getting a receipt from a sex worker with displayed VAT (or the legal requirement to express VAT excemption if the sex worker is below the legal income threshold). Anyways, trafficking is still a thing, and you as a customer can be arrested if you have reason to believe the sex worker is not willingly offering services but coerced or forced to do so.
