A plot forced Marie to work as a “traveling whore” in the TV event “Die Wanderhure”. But did traveling whores really exist? What was prostitution like in the Middle Ages? How did the whores use contraception and where were the largest brothels in Europe located? The SAT.1 documentary “Love for Sale in the Middle Ages - How Traveling Whores Really Lived” uses the historically documented fate of the traveling whore Els von Eystett to shed light on these and other questions.
