it's interesting that it's not enforced as a law. I can imagine that raising the fine to $200 and spending 1 or 2 months ticketing everybody would change behavior overnight. But obviously the majority of Germans don't think that's warranted. Lastly if a young male who is drunk pees on your house and his pee bounces back onto him potentially embarrassing him in front of his male friends or his companion how long till a brick goes through your window as you're sleeping?

They should just follow America's lead, and force everyone caught urinating in public to register as a sex offender. I mean, it works here, right? Right?

  Well in America if 100 men pee up against a wall one will get shot by the homeowner fearing a break-in. So even drunk young males will say to each other "Dude don't go into that garden/alley to pee against the wall you never know if the guy in there has a gun"

  I guess I'm thinking humiliated drunk young males can be problematic.

In many German cities, you're fined for peeing on public property ($50 to $200, depending on the city and the circumstances).

Not in St. Pauli, it's Hamburg's party district, home of the Reeperbahn, so it'd be a continual stream (if you pardon the pun) of very drunk people, many of whom aren't from Hamburg, getting ticketed.
