LGBTQIA+ History in Germany 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

Since it's Pride Month, I wanted to write a post giving a very brief overview of LGBTQ+ rights in Germany and go over queer rights movements that aren't centered in the USA.

Also because I'm German-American, have queer German friends, am queer myself, and my muse is a bisexual German who grew up in the 1800s.

This post will focus primarily on the 19th - 21st centuries, as the first queer rights movement in Germany really began in the 1860s.

1860s

1864: Lawyer Karl Heinrich Ulrichs confesses, under the pseudonym Numa Numantius, his secret homosexual inclinations in his first two books in the 12 book series entitled Forschungen über das Räthsel der mannmännlichen Liebe (Researches on the Riddle of Male-Male Love). He proposes a concept of third gender identity through the term urning.

1867: On August 29, 1867, Karl Heinrich Ulrichs became the first self-proclaimed homosexual to speak out publicly for homosexual rights, when he pleaded at the Congress of German Jurists in Munich for a resolution urging the repeal of anti-homosexual laws.

1869: The term "homosexuality" appears in print for the first time in a German-Hungarian pamphlet written by Karl-Maria Kertbeny (1824–1882).

1870s

1870: Friedrich Christian Oppenhoff mentions Paragraph 175 in Das Strafgesetzbuch für den Norddeutschen Bund.

1871: Homosexuality is criminalized throughout the German Empire by Paragraph 175 of the Reich Criminal Code. Homosexuality was already a criminal offence in all territories of Germany, but it was regulated by the state authorities separately.

1890s

1896: Adolf Brand founds Der Eigne, the first worldwide gay magazine, in Berlin

14. May 1897: Magnus Hirschfeld founds the Wissenschaftlich-humanitäres Komitee (Scientific-Humanitarian Committee) in Berlin, the first queer rights movement in history (it fought for the rights of not only gay men, but bisexual men and women, transgender people, intersex people, and lesbians).

1900s

1903: The advocating organisation Gemeinschaft der Eigenen was founded in Berlin.

1906: Brazilian countess Dina Alma de Paradeda poisons herself in Breslau, and a doctor reveals that her body was male, causing a media sensation. De Paradeda becomes one of the first transgender women known by name in the entirety of central Europe. Her history is later often recalled by Dr. Hirschfeld in his research and works.

1907:  Adolf Brand, the activist leader of the Gemeinschaft der Eigenen working to overturn Paragraph 175, publishes a piece "outing" the Imperial Chancellor of Germany, Prince Bernhard von Bülow. The Prince sues Brand for libel; Brand is sentenced to 18 months in prison.

1907 - 1909: Harden-Eulenburg Affair in Germany

1910s

July 6, 1919: Magnus Hirschfeld opens the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft in Tiergarten, Berlin. The Institute also housed the main offices for the Scientific Humanitarian Committee (the first homosexual righs organization) and the World League for Sexual Reform.

Anders als die Andren (Different from the Others), one of the first explicitly gay films, is released. Magnus Hirschfeld cameoed in the movie and partially funded its production.

August 1919: gay magazine Die Freundschaft is started by publisher Karl Schulz in Berlin.

1919: The Bund für Menschenrecht (BfM), a gay rights organisation, is founded in Berlin under the name Deutscher Freundschaftsverband (DFV).

1920s

1922:  Dora Richter becomes the first transgender woman to undergo gender reassignment surgery in Hirschfeld's Institute, the first operation of its kind in the world.

1924: The first worldwide lesbian magazine, Die Freundin, is founded in Berlin.

1929: On October 16, a Reichstag Committee votes to repeal Paragraph 175. The Social Democrats and other leftist parties backed the repeal, while the Catholic Center party and other right-wing parties opposed the repeal. The Nazis' rise to power prevents the implementation of the vote.

1930s - 1940s

1931:  Mädchen in Uniform, one of the first explicitly lesbian films and the first pro-lesbian film, is released.

1933: The Nazi Party bans homosexual groups. Homosexuals are sent to concentration camps. Nazis burn the library of Institute for Sexual Research and destroy the Institute.

1937: First use of pink triangle for gay men in concentration camps.

1945: Upon the liberation of Nazi concentration camps by Allied forces, those interned for homosexuality are not freed, but required to serve out the full term of their sentences under Paragraph 175

1950s - 1960s

Throughout the 1950s until the fall of the Berlin Wall, East Germany repealed the Nazi-era laws, reverting to the pre-WWII sodomy law (which only criminalized penetrative sex).

By 1957, East German officials stopped prosecuting consensual adult same-sex relationships.

1951: homophile magazine Die Freunde is first published by Johannes Dörrast

1968: Paragraph 175 is eased in East Germany, decriminalizing homosexual acts over the age of 18.

1969: Paragraph 175 eased in West Germany

1970s - 1980s

1974: General Gay Association, the second openly LGBT rights organization in German history, is established.

1985: Herbert Rusche becomes the first openly gay member of the Bundestag.

1987:  Jutta Oesterle-Schwerin becomes the first openly lesbian member of the Bundestag.

1990s - 2000s

1994: After German reunifaction, the Supreme Court rules that the age of consent for sex must be equalized, although its unclear what part of the Constitution the court based its ruling on.

11 June 1994:  Germany deletes the Paragraph 175 StGB (Strafgesetzbuch), which under changing conditions made sexual acts between men a punishable crime.

2000: The Bundestag officially apologizes to gays and lesbians persecuted under the Nazi regime, and for "harm done to homosexual citizens up to 1969".

2001:  Germany recognizes civil partnerships for same-sex couples (without joint adoption until Oct 2004, then with step-adoption); Klaus Wowereit becomes the first openly gay politician elected mayor of Berlin (and, by virtue of Berlin's status as a state, one of the two first openly gay premier of a German state; also makes Berlin the largest city in the world with an openly gay mayor); Ole von Beust becomes the first openly gay mayor of Hamburg.

2004: Same-sex stepchild adoption is legalized; Guido Westerwelle, leader of the FDP, becomes the first leader of a major party to come out.

27 May 2008: the Memorial to the Homosexual Victims of Nazi Persecution is handed over to the public in Berlin.

2009: Westerwelle becomes the first openly gay member of the Federal Cabinet (Vice Chancellor and Foreign Minister under Angela Merkel's coalition government).

2010s - 2020s

2013:  Barbara Hendricks becomes the first openly lesbian member of the Federal Cabinet (Federal Minister for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety under Angela Merkel's coalition government)

June 2017: the pardoning of men convicted in the postwar era under Paragraph 175 was passed by law in the Bundestag. One week later, a majority of Bundestag MPs voted in favor of a bill legalizing same-sex marriage in Germany and granting homosexual couples full adoption rights.

2019:  Conversion therapy is completely banned for minors and partially banned for adults in December 2019.

2021: In May, a bill passes in the Bundestag that provides compensation to LGBT servicepeople in the military for past discrimination and harassment.

Marbachs Millionenplan

Das Literaturarchiv wird um- und ausgebaut

Die erste virtuelle Pressekonferenz des Deutschen Literaturarchivs (DLA) in Marbach war so statisch inszeniert wie nur denkbar (massenhaft aufgestapelte Stühle hinter dem Podium, eine sklavisch monoton ablesende Direktorin Sandra Richter), aber rund um die Institution auf der Schillerhöhe wird es in den nächsten Jahren mehr als genug Bewegung geben. Vorgestellt wurde ein Masterplan für Neu- und Umbauten im Gesamtvolumen von 130 Millionen Euro. Dazu kam die freudige Kunde, dass aus dem Bundeshaushalt des kommenden Jahres 73 Millionen Euro Fördermittel ans DLA gehen: zur Sicherstellung der Bau- und der Digitalisierungsvorhaben, denen sich Richter besonders verschrieben hat. Noch gebe es in Marbach weniger als hundert Bestände mit born digitals, also originär digital erstellten Autorentexten wie Typoskripten oder E-Mails, sagte der Leiter des Archivs, Ulrich von Bülow, aber mit beinahe jedem neu erworbenen Vorlass wachse diese Zahl. Auch diese Herausforderung sollen die zu sanierenden oder neu zu errichtenden Räumlichkeiten berücksichtigen. Fertig sein soll alles spätestens 2033, weil Marbach dann eine Landesgartenausstellung ausrichten will.

Tristan und Isolde - Wagner

We know the story: Tristan and Isolde, en route to Cornwall where Isolde is to marry King Marke, accidentally drink a love potion. The effect is immediate: under the influence of magic, Tristan and Isolde fall passionately in love, in defiance of the laws and the king. In the end, each is incapable of being without the other, and a tragic misunderstanding leads to their demise. The themes and motifs of Tristan are among the best known in the entire repertoire, often featuring in concert programs—especially the opening, the prelude to Act III, and Isolde’s final gasp before dying, the famous “Liebestod” (“Love Death”).

First performed in 1865 under the baton of Hans von Bülow—whose wife Cosima (daughter of Franz Liszt) would soon leave him for Wagner—Tristan was the product of over a decade of careful writing and rewriting. The opera’s tonal palette and unconventional harmonies broke new ground; its influence on Western music over the last century and a half would be difficult to measure. This splendid production by Christoph Marthaler, with a shock of 1950s color, kicked off the 2009 festival in Bayreuth, the uncontested nexus of Wagnerian opera.

Belgian Assassin

Sep 7 1914 #OTD  New-York Tribune

Belgian sniper shoots German General Von Buelow behind enemy lines. He then dons the general's uniform so he is able to pass through German checkpoints to get back to Belgian lines. Finds 135,000 Francs in Buelow's pockets.

Dozens of Generals were killed during #WWI. It could have been: Generalmajor Karl Hans Ulrich von Bülow and Generalmajor Friedrich von Wussow both died on Aug 6 1914 and Generalmajor Walter Scherbening was Killed in action at Etrépy (France) on Sep 6 1914

How General Von Buelow was Killed

Ostend, Sept. 6. From official sources arrived at to-day the exact circumstances surrounding the death of General Yon Buelow at the battle of Haelen were learned.

At this battle a lad of eighteen, standing alone in a mass of dead bodies, saw, about nine huudred yards distant, an officer studying a map. The youngster crawled quietly among the corpses of his comrades until he was within four hundred yards of the officer. Then he took careful aim and fired and the officer fell dead. Rushing up to the body, the Belgian discovered, to his surprise, it was that of General Von Buelow. Taking off the general's boots and donning his uniform, he managed to pass through the German lines. He discarded his German helmet and put on his own cap, in fear that he might be shot. A subsequent examination of Buelow's garments led to the finding of German notes to the value of 135,000 francs. These were discovered in a vest pocket, and this money King Albert turned over to the Red Cross organization. In the jacket was a secret pocket containing memoranda full of interesting details about the future intentions of the Germans. On hearing of the lad's brave deed, King Albert, after presenting him with the dead general's horse and pocket books, gave him on the spot the order of the Knight of Leopold. It is further reported that in the sacking of Louvain three priceless works of art were ruthlessly destroyed. They were Rogier van der Weyden's "Deccent from the Cross," Diedrich Bout's "The Last Supper," and "The Martyrdom of St. Erasmus." A wonderful screen dating from 1488 was in the cathedral. The second named work was in three sections and the central piece was destroyed. The two wings were seized, and one of them now is in Munich and the other in Berlin.

Schafkopf-Turnier mit Müller: 34.000 Euro für guten Zweck

Lieb gewonnene Traditionen soll man pflegen: Zum dritten Mal traten Schafkopf-Freunde für das „Michael Leopold Charity Schafkopf Turnier“ im Salvatorkeller des Paulaner am Nockherberg an. Bei bayerischer Brotzeit und viel Konzentration an den Tischen spielten 84 Prominente, Freunde und Gäste nicht nur um Ruhm und Ehre, sondern auch zugunsten der Sky Stiftung und der Nicolaidis YoungWings Stiftung. Am Ende kamen stolze 34.000 Euro für den guten Zweck zusammen.

Thomas Müller, FC-Bayern-Profi und Botschafter der Onlineberatungsstelle „YoungWings“ nahm den Spendenscheck gemeinsam mit den Stiftungsvorständen Martina Münch-Nicolaidis, Nicolaidis YoungWings Stiftung, und Prof. Wolfram Winter, Sky Stiftung, entgegen. „Herz war heute Trumpf. Ein großartiger Abend mit einer herausragenden Spendensumme. Beide Stiftungen können damit in der Kinder- und Jugendarbeit viel bewegen. Besonders habe ich mich über die breite Unterstützung von Freunden und Spielern aus unterschiedlichen Vereinen und Sportarten gefreut.“, so Thomas Müller nach dem hart umkämpften Turnier.

Schafkopfen gehört in Bayern zur Tradition wie Fußballspielen oder Skifahren. Neben Thomas Müller spielten u.a. die Ex-Fußballprofis Dieter Hoeneß, Hans Dorfner, Ludwig „Wiggerl“ Kögl, Herbert Waas (Uefa-Cup Sieger mit Leverkusen) und Peter Kupferschmidt (Europapokalsieger 1967 mit dem FC Bayern), der Co-Trainer des FC Schalke 04 Tobias Zellner, vom FC Augsburg Daniel Baier, Markus Feulner und Christoph Janker, 1860-Profis Kai Bülow und Jan Mauersberger, Fußball-Regionalligist SpVgg Unterhaching mit Präsident und Ex-Profi Manfred Schwabl, Cheftrainer Claus Schromm sowie den Spielern Markus Einsiedler, Ulrich Taffertshofer, Seppi Welzmüller und Alexander Winkler.

Aber nicht nur Fußballer können schafkopfen, sondern auch die Eishockeyspieler Konrad Abeltshauser und Maximilian Kastner vom Deutschen Meister EHC Red Bull München. Markus Janka und Klaus Kathan vom EC Bad Tölz, Trainerlegende Hans Zach und vom 10-fachen deutschen Meister SC Riessersee Julian Eichinger und Christian Hummer sowie Tennis-Daviscup-Kapitän Michael Kohlmann gaben an den Spieltischen ebenfalls alles. Außerdem aktiv: Sky Experte Dietmar Hamann, Sky Reporter Uli Köhler, Gastronom Peter Inselkammer und Gattin Katharina, Sängerin Claudia Koreck, sowie Freunde und Verwandte von Thomas Müller und Michael Leopold.

Vier Frauen und 80 Männer: Am Ende setzt sich mit der Sängerin Claudia Koreck eine Frau in dem männerdominierten Turnier durch. Die stolze Siegerin freut sich nun darauf, ihr Talent auf dem großen Parkett unter Beweis zu stellen. Claudia Koreck holte nicht nur den Titel, sondern u.a. auch eine Wildcard für die Schafkopf Weltmeisterschaft im österreichischen Großarl. Und auch der 2. Platz bleibt in der Musikerfamilie. Der Schlagzeuger der Koreck-Band, Peter Kraus, nahm den Gewinn mit nach Hause. Dritter wurde Rudi Sperl. Tränen flossen bei den drei Letztplatzierten zwar nicht, sicherheitshalber gab es aber trotzdem ein Badetuch zum Trocknen und Trösten.

Sky Moderator Michael Leopold, Initiator des Turniers: „So traditionsreich wie das alljährliche Politiker-Derblecken am Nockherberg ist unser Charity-Schafkopfturnier zwar noch nicht, aber wir arbeiten hart daran.
