Rainbow e.V. runs the queer centre on Jakobstraße and acts as the umbrella for the queer groups of Aachen and the surrounding Städteregion. If you want to know what is on in the city, this is the address everyone points you to.
The centre offers counselling on sexuality and gender identity, open game evenings and a set of meet-ups split by who they are for: men loving men, women loving women, trans and non-binary people, aro and ace people. It publishes the D¡va, a queer paper laid out in bars, bookshops and public offices across the city, and it is the association behind the CSD.
It also certifies bars, shops, museums and public bodies in Aachen as queer-friendly, which is why the label turns up in windows around town. Everything runs on volunteers and there are no fixed phone hours, so email gets an answer faster.
