"Miss Germany" may lose crown over nude rules
BERLIN (Reuters) - "Miss Germany" has broken her contract and could lose her crown because she objects to beauty
contest rules banning her from marrying or posing in the nude, organisers say.
Ralf Klemmer, director of the Miss Germany Corporation that holds the annual pageant, said Berlin dental technician
Katrin Wrobel cancelled a contract with his firm because she said it contained "immoral clauses".
"The contract she and all the girls in the competition signed beforehand spelled it out quite clearly that marriage and
nude photographs during the year are not allowed," Klemmer told Reuters on Thursday.
He said the rules were quite clear and Wrobel would be stripped of her Miss Germany crown if she did not relent.
"The same rules apply to the Miss competitions all around the world," added Klemmer, whose firm has organised 42
consecutive Miss Germany contests since 1960. "It's strange that she now rejects this. But there is no way she can
compete in the Miss World competition in Nigeria if this is not resolved."
"We've never had a case like this in 42 years," he said. "If she wants to relinquish the crown then the runner-up will be
awarded it. There cannot be another competition this year."
Wrobel's lawyer Christian Schertz was not immediately available for comment. He was quoted in Bild newspaper on
Thursday as saying Wrobel had cancelled the contract "because it is filled with immoral clauses".
A tall brunette considered a long-shot to win the German competition in January, Wrobel, 24, has since landed a job as
a presenter on a German television game show. She has long lived with her boyfriend, a 29-year-old electrician.
