In the city of Giessen, Germany, finding a public restroom has become a hassle-free experience, thanks to the "Nice Toilet" initiative. This innovative project, which aims to make it easier for people to locate public restrooms, originated from a company in Aachen and has now found a home in Giessen.

The "Nice Toilet" initiative is not about the construction of traditional public toilets. Instead, it partners with businesses and public facilities, such as restaurants, and public facilities, to offer free toilet access to non-customers. In Giessen, there are currently 27 such establishments displaying the "Nice Toilet" sticker on their entrance doors.

This red sticker signifies that the premises offer free toilet access to non-customers. Non-customers are welcome to use the toilets in participating restaurants without any purchase or order. In public facilities, the toilets are freely accessible to everyone.

If you're in Giessen and need to find a "Nice Toilet," you have several options. You can refer to the city map, which provides further information on the locations of these facilities. Alternatively, you can visit app.die-nette-toilette.de, the dedicated app for the "Nice Toilet" initiative.

Printed flyers with an overview of participating businesses are also available at the town hall and the tourist office. Keep an eye out for establishments with the "Nice Toilet" sticker, and you'll be sure to find a restroom when you need one.

As an added incentive, participating gastronomy businesses in Giessen receive discounted rates for the use of outdoor dining areas. The management of the Giessen implementation of the "Nice Toilet" initiative is handled by MWB.

The city of Giessen adopted the "Nice Toilet" idea due to the high cost, time-consuming nature, and susceptibility to vandalism of building and maintaining classic public toilets. By partnering with businesses and public facilities, the city can offer a more sustainable and cost-effective solution to the public restroom issue.

In conclusion, the "Nice Toilet" initiative in Giessen is a valuable resource for residents and visitors alike. By making it easier to find public restrooms, the city is ensuring that everyone can enjoy their time in Giessen without worrying about finding a restroom when they need one.
