A Berlin grandmother announces she will retire when she turns 64 next year from her 49 year position as a prostitute in the city's diplomatic quarter.

Renate Dolle told Germany's Bild newspaper, "I've got a lot of regular clients."

The blonde woman is pictured in the paper wearing a short red mini skirt and high-heeled white boots as she stood near the Japanese embassy. She says she charges 30 euros ($36) and on good nights she has four to five clients.

She says, "I'm going to stop at 64 and retire." Her husband drops her off for work each night after the television evening news and who has a nine-year-old granddaughter.

She is one of 10,000 prostitutes in Berlin and 400,000 in Germany, where prostitution is legal. Dolle says she tried to work in a popular red light district nearby recently, but was chased away by younger competitors.

She says they said, "What do you want here, you old whore, get lost. What did I ever do to them?"
