Queerschnitt Nordhessen is the counselling centre for gender and sexual diversity in Kassel and the region around it. It has worked in the city since 1987, when it was founded as the local AIDS support organisation, and now covers a good deal more than that.
It offers HIV and STI testing, counselling and self-help groups, school education, support for queer refugees, and T*räumchen, its project for trans, inter and non-binary people, which also runs a mobile service and a group for parents. The regional LSBT*IQ network office sits here too.
For a visitor the useful part is what it does after something goes wrong. Anyone attacked because they are queer can file a police report in its offices with a liaison officer present, and the centre publishes safety advice for cruising and app dates in Kassel. The office is on the third floor; ramps reach the building entrance and there is a small lift, but the building is not fully step-free.
