MUNICH, Germany (Reuters) – The naked sunbathers who once filled Munich’s central park on warm summer days are turning their backs on Germany’s famous open-air celebration to nudity.

Officials worried that the new-found prudery will damage the international reputation of the park and cause a drop in tourism to the Bavarian city have appealed to local sun-lovers to come back and leave their clothes behind.

“We’ve lost many of the nudists who made the English Garden a special place,” said park director Thomas Koester. “Especially good-looking young women and men who made it such an attraction aren’t here as much anymore. It’s becoming a real problem.”
