This is one of my biggest frustrations with living in Germany. And btw, so much for "walkable cities". Especially for the elderly who get the need more frequently, but even I ended up in situations where I am an hour away from home and needed to pee badly. Pretty much every mildly secluded corner in the city smells like piss as a result of this ... You know for a country who thinks of itself as more socially minded, and not as hardcore capitalist, they do nickle-dime you for everything. Public latrines are the most basic of public goods.

It differs city by city, in some you have better facilities. IMO it’s more about drugs and sex than capitalism but yea I agree the state of public toilet availability is a disgrace in Germany

  Berlin has a program building public toilets. Though not so many, it is a contradiction to the original post as the public toilets increase.

    It might have. But where I live in Berlin there is exactly one public toilet for the whole district. And it’s a pissoir only so if you are female or need no.2 you are screwed. Might be different in another neighbourhood here.
