Why?
The two are turned away only because of their skin colour – this violates the right to equal treatment. Under Article 3 of the Basic Law (Grundgesetz), nobody may be disadvantaged because of their origin or descent, and the General Equal Treatment Act (Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz) also applies to swimming pools, clubs or restaurants. Freedom of movement (Freizügigkeit) means something different: the right to live anywhere in Germany and to move around freely.
