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.
From the wild days of the 1920s and the dark days of persecution under the Nazis through to the Cold War. 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 world-famous, Schöneberg, once the central district of the sapphic Berlin, home of philosopher and war journalist Erika Mann, chronicled by painter Otto Dix and writer Christopher Isherwood.
Discuss the queer community of Berlin and all the communities it intersects with by visiting Kreuzberg, where as far back as the 1600's, many waves of LGBTIQ and immigrant diasporas have come to determine "nobody flees without a reason".
On this tour we accept anyone that considers themselves LGBTIQ, an ally, or who’s just plain interested. Everyone is welcome!

Our guide was Tom and he’s such a great guy. The tour was interesting and very insightful. You get to know the different sides of the LGBTQI+ community in present Berlin and in the past. Although it was hot but the energy kept us going and the little break at Romeo&Romeo was lovely. It’s very recommended and actually an important thing to do when you visit Berlin, whether your part of the community or just an ally.

Nice walking through Berlin 🌈 Our guide Tom show us gay/ queer hotspots of the past and present with some important details and historical information. So it was possible to get a feeling about the gay/ queer life in the past and how it evolves into the gay/ queer lifestyle we know today. Also a little bit of smalltalk with the group and Tom was possible during the walking and the coffee brake in the café Romeo and Romeo (in Berlin-Schönefeld).
