The contributions compiled in this volume offer a comprehensive account of the diverse experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals throughout history. Spanning from the early emancipation movements at the turn of the last century to the challenges faced during the Weimar Republic and the subsequent suppression of queer subcultures under the National Socialist regime, this collection sheds light on the ongoing discrimination faced by LGBTQ+ individuals in the postwar period.

Since the late 19th century, a growing number of individuals have courageously advocated for the recognition of queer lifestyles. These pioneers formed collectives, raised their voices, and challenged dominant gender norms politically, scientifically, and artistically. Through essays, interviews, and artworks, the authors and artists present a vivid illustration of the struggle for recognition that was fiercely suppressed and obliterated following the ascent to power by the National Socialists and largely forgotten after 1945.
