Overview
A queer king, a gay mayor, Marlene Dietrich in Blue Angel, David Bowie in the ‘70s, Audre Lorde in the ‘80s: Berlin has long been a magnet for LGBTIQ icons and allies. As the first company to offer a regular queer tour in Berlin we are thrilled to show you an integral side to our city.
From the wild days of the 1920s and the dark days of persecution under the Nazis through to the different experiences in East and West Berlin, we will look at LGBTQIA+ experiences throughout Germany’s history. Hear about the club scene of the 90s, the unlikely queer icon Frederick the Great, and the life of the openly gay Nazi, Ernst Röhm.
Explore Berlin’s world-famous gay neighbourhood, Schöneberg, once the central district of the so-called sapphic capital Berlin and home of philosopher and war journalist Erika Mann, a space and time chronicled by painter Otto Dix and writer Christopher Isherwood, and the home of one of Berlin’s oldest gay and trans* club, the former Eldorado.
