A German teenager was shocked to discover she was offered work at a brothel by a job centre.

The 19-year-old's mother is said to have screamed when she found the letter offering the placement as a hostess, reports local newspaper Augsburger Allgemeine.



The job centre in question apologised for the letter, saying that they should have asked her before sending it out.

Chief Roland Fuerst insisted that the work on offer was not in any way connected to prostitution, but more of an administrative position.

Prostitution is legal in Germany, and Fuerst's job centre stated that it was aware that the position would take place at a brothel.

The young woman said: "I was looking for a decent housekeeping job - not working at a brothel bar.

"I was totally shocked when I read the letter. My mother even started screaming out loud when she read the letter."
