The queer students' office at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum, one of the four autonomous departments of the student union. It sits in the Studierendenhaus next to the Kulturcafé, behind a rainbow-coloured door, and it is open to anyone who wants to walk in during office hours rather than only to students.
What is in the room is a lending library of queer books and films, from academic texts and guides to novels and DVDs, borrowed by email or in person. There is a buddy programme for people who would rather not arrive somewhere alone, an afternoon café called Queerbucks with coffee and cake, and a semester programme that has run to drag workshops, readings and film evenings.
The campus is at the southern end of the U35, twenty minutes from Bochum Hauptbahnhof.
