Munich LGBT History Walking Tour

Gay life in a catholic country (Bavaria) is a paradox. Discrimination, prejudices, and the AIDS era brought many shadows over the life of many men and women, that suffered for being just an expression of nature.
Get a look at LGBT history in Munich on this walking tour with a guide who covers over 800 years of local gay history.

Explore Munich's evolution from hidden homosexual lives to the gay city, it is today. Our royals, lawyers, and many others, tried to make life normal, to human nature.

Sodomy laws, purity of race from the Nazi era to modern LGBTQ+ identity.

Visit landmarks important to LGBT history, and hear stories of gay heroes, activists, writers, and resistance fighters.

With a small group, you'll have plenty of chances to ask questions and enjoy an intimate group atmosphere.
