Möbel Olfe

Kling spießig, but it's a cool bar, decorated with hundreds of satellite dishes and playing indie and electronic sounds from the speakers: Möbel Olfe is a staple of the queer scene with a great location and tolerant guests. By the way, the sign is older than the bar itself and refers to a furniture store in the neighborhood that has long been closed.

Locations specifically directed at lesbians are also rarer in Berlin than gay bars: The "Begine" is an exception and a historically significant institution in the Berlin women's scene. Today, it has become an exciting cultural meeting point, hosting literary evenings, jazz and classical concerts, and of course, parties.

Rauschgold translates to "gold leaf" in English.

The gay bar with carnival atmosphere: In this bar on the bustling Kreuzberg Mehringdamm, everything sparkles and glitters with disco balls, sequin curtains, and tinsel. The music is all about partying with hits and New German Wave, as well as show performances that include audience participation.

Eisenherz Bookstore

But not only party fans, but also reading enthusiasts find a home in the queer scene of Berlin: for example, at "Eisenherz," which opened 40 years ago as the first gay bookstore in Germany. It is located in Schöneberg, on the gay mile Motzstraße, among countless gay bars, clubs, cafés, and fetish shops.

Gay Museum *

At the beginning, only male homosexuals were the focus of the museum's founders. Meanwhile, the scientific interest of the curators also extends to other sexual orientations and gender identities – especially women and transgender individuals. The asterisk in the name of the interesting museum in Schöneberg represents this thematic expansion.

Silver Future

The future is sparkling, one might say, because here in Weserstraße, gay people, lesbians, and transgender individuals are welcome everywhere. "Everyone as they want," is the unwritten law in the neighborhood, and it is especially true in the bar "Silver Future."
