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!

An important yet less covered part of Berlins history

Published on Feb, 2025

Very unique and educational look into Berlins gay and queer history. Tom the tour guide was very knowledgeable, articulate and approachable allowing for questions regularly.

Highly Recommend!

Published on Dec, 2024

Highly recommend this tour. It was great to walk around the city and find out more about queer history in Berlin. Our tour guide Nikolas was also amazing, super friendly and informative.

Excellent tour!

Published on Oct, 2024

10/10 experience. Tom was an amazing guide, very personable and super knowledgable about the city and its history. The tour office also went above and beyond helping to connect me with my group when I couldn't find my way. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for an engaging and informative tour!

Interesting to hear and see the sites

Published on Mar, 2024

Very informative and interesting experience hearing the history and seeing the sites that were and are so integral to the queer scene.

Queer Berlin tour

Published on Aug, 2023

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.
