Leipzig's queer centre, on Demmeringstraße in Lindenau, run by an association that has been working against discrimination around gender and sexuality for more than thirty years.
It is three things at once. A counselling service, free and anonymous, with a separate legal advice desk and an outreach arm that covers the rest of Saxony. A set of rooms that queer groups use for their own meetings, which is what makes it a centre rather than an office. And an education project that goes into schools, trains teachers and supports queer working groups in them.
Alongside that it runs the Queer Refugees Resilience Project and an empowerment project. For a visitor it is the place to find out what is actually happening in queer Leipzig, and the association publishes a city map of the scene.
