Queer Space Heidelberg is a community centre run by a registered association for LGBTQ+ people and allies, in a former cinema building near the Karlstor in the old town. The city renovated the building and handed it over to the association, and it describes itself as Heidelberg's first queer centre, opened in September 2024.
The space runs an open cafe on Sunday afternoons and holds a monthly community meetup where members decide together how the rooms are used. More than thirty groups meet here, covering culture, education and peer support, and the rooms also host club nights, drag events and workshops.
Everyone is welcome, whether queer or an ally, and there is no charge to visit the cafe. The rooms can also be booked by community groups for their own events.
