I have read that Minnesota and Wisconsin are relatively nude tolerant because of the large German and Scandinavian population.
I wish that was the case ;-( I am in MN. From the search's I have done, we have 2 landed clubs and maybe 1 non-landed. But no public nude beaches that I can find ;-(
Regarding that post from two years ago about Paderborn, I think I was there back in the 70's. I can't remember exactly where, because I wasn't driving, but I remember that it was somewhere southwest of Hannover.
I don't know if the FKK scene is the same now as it was back then. The article mentioned that its membership is dwindling. If so, that's a shame.
The 2010s was not a good decade for german nudism. The society gets more and more prudish and nudists are kind of fools in the society. I don't know why the society is getting more prudish, may be because everybody is watching pornhub and then on the other hand public nudity is not tolerated anymore. This is one development.
The other development is that we have more and more swinger clubs and swingers visiting nudist places. Actually FKK club or nudist club means in german: swinger club. (If you want naturism you have to look for nudist colonies). I just read today that a spa does not tolerate any nudism anymore, because the spa was visited more and more by swingers.
Nudist colonies are open and you do not have to be a member of the INF to visit them. I see also that the nudist colonies now in 2020 have more members which are in the 30s. We have also a problem that the nudist colonies had or have many members in the 60s but no younger members. I guess it is a general trend in the society not to do social engagement and if you do it then not with a membership. But as we see now younger members there is hope that the nudist colonies have a renaissance.
Many younger people in society also are anxious to start with nudism, because they are shaved. They have shame feelings.
Also many younger people are anxious to go because everybody has a smartphone and they are anxious that a nude picture of them is on the next day on twitter.
So all in all german nudism has its problems, but we will see how this decade develops. A plus is: german nudism is always a mixture of nakedness and sports. Naked running, naked yoga, naked volley ball, naked tennis, naked swimming, naked biking, naked hiking everything typical german. That is maybe an unique selling point. And of course the cool beer afterwards.

I have read elsewhere that the increased Muslim population is also a factor. Would you agree?
I recommend to read the statements of the DFK (German FKK Association):
https://www.dfk.org/ueber-uns/was-ist-freikoerperkultur-/-naturismus
Also nice to read about the history of the free body movement:
https://www.dfk.org/geschichte-der-freikoerperkultur
The page is in german, but Goggle Translate helps.
FKK didn't use to mean "swinger." I'm sorry that the scene has changed from when I was in it some fifty years ago. I don't think I would ever have gotten interested in nudism if it hadn't been for the FKK and, specifically, some friends of mine who were members.
I hope that there is a renewed interest in nudism for nudism's sake, not as a pretext for sexual hookups. I kind of see that in this country, in that people who are enjoying each other's company while nude seem to be younger and not affiliated with any clubs or "nudist colonies" as you call them (that term has almost disappeared in the US; now they're just called clubs or resorts).
Tomorrow I will go to Berzdorfer See which is a great place for being naked, very close to Polish border. I drive there from Wroclaw (about 2 hour journey) because it is the best place I have found. Can anyone recommend other places?
