Maxim Wien is one of the oldest and most well known brothels in Vienna, Austria. There are around 20 to 25 women of different nationalities working Maxim Wien at any given time. Maxim is one of the last sex clubs still operational in Vienna. Maxim Wien is known as a "all-in-one club," meaning that it is a strip, sex, and escort club. The club has a sizable reputation and is known among local and international businessmen. There is no entry fee to the club.
History
The predecessor club to Maxim, Planet Girls Paradise was opened in August 1985 by Josef "Pepi" Stern. It was originally a place for variety shows. Josef Stern was known in the industry for operating multiple dance and go-go clubs in Austria and Croatia. Currently, he is responsible for operating the Monaco Bar, as well as the current Maxim club. On July 5, 2005, the new Maxim was reopened by Stern under the name Maxim Wien. At the time, many of the women who worked in Maxim were students who wanted to earn money while they were on their summer vacations.
In January 2017, Maxim Wien introduced a new BDSM room which is equipped with tools for patrons to experience BDSM with a dominatrix. The club regularly hires professional dominatrices.
In 2018, Maxim Wien closed for few months for renovations. Despite the club's closure, many employees did not seek employment at other establishments. They resumed working at Maxim Wien once the renovations were complete.
Operation
Maxim is separated into two parts; a downstairs bar and lounge area and an upstairs area where the rooms are located. The lounge area has music played by a resident DJ, a stage featuring dancers, and an area for patrons to socialize with available women. The bar offers various alcoholic drinks. Patrons are permitted to buy drinks for the working women.
After a patron makes a deal with one of the Maxim women, the patron and the worker proceed to a private room in the upstairs location. The rooms in Maxim Wien are decorated different styles. The room types include regular rooms, VIP rooms, and an equipped BDSM room. Patrons provide payment before the session begins, including payment for agreed upon elective services.
Maxim Wien, as an established club, is considered as an acceptable establishment for women who are entering the paid sex industry. The club regularly employees women who have recently begun careers in sex work. Maxim Wien helps women complete the steps necessary to start working legally in the sex industry in Vienna.

Maxim Wien hosts numerous events throughout the year. Most of these events are themed and have high attendance. Some of the events that have been held in the brothel include:
