In the city of Giessen, there is a convenient and welcoming initiative that allows non-customers to use the toilets of 27 businesses and public facilities for free. This initiative, known as the "Nice Toilet", was introduced in 2017 and is a signal for free WC usage in the city.

The "Nice Toilet" stickers, which are red, can be found on the entrance doors of participating businesses. These businesses range from restaurants to shops, and their participation in the initiative offers a much-needed relief for those in need of a quiet place on the go in Giessen.

The "Nice Toilet" initiative is not limited to just gastronomy businesses. It also includes other establishments in the city. For those interested in finding the locations of these "Nice Toilet" facilities, they can refer to the city map or the free app at app.die-nette-toilette.de. Printed flyers with an overview of participating businesses are also available at the town hall and the tourist office.

It's important to note that the "Nice Toilet" initiative does not apply to public facilities where toilets are already freely accessible. Public facilities in Giessen also offer free toilet usage.

The city of Giessen adopted the "Nice Toilet" idea due to the high cost, time consumption, and vandalism risks associated with traditional public toilets. The management of the "Nice Toilet" initiative in Giessen is handled by MWB.

In participating restaurants, no purchase or order is necessary to use the "Nice Toilet". This initiative is a way for businesses to contribute to the community and provide a service that is beneficial to both locals and visitors.

The "Nice Toilet" initiative originated from a company in Aachen and has since been adopted by other cities. In Giessen, it continues to be an active initiative, providing a clean, accessible, and welcoming solution for those in need of a toilet while on the go.
