Gay dating in Bremen

Why is Bremen so exciting for gays?

The history of gays in Bremen, like that in other major cities in Germany, looks back on decades of discrimination and persecution. A well-known example of this discrimination is the Bremen theatre director Friedrich Carl Feldtmann, who was convicted in court for his homosexuality in the 19th century. Therefore, in order to escape punishment, gays often met in secret flats. In 1910, for example, a scandal broke out in the Philosophenweg in Bremen. In a flat rented especially for the meeting of gay men, a professor's son was seduced. Such scandalous news was common at the time. High-ranking persons and police officers were also said to have been involved, which was a scandalous situation for the time.

Especially during the Nazi era, the situation for gays became even worse. Starting from the Gestapo headquarters in Bremen, persecution of the city's gays began. The population as well as the press were also involved at the time and were encouraged to expose and denounce homosexuals. Thus, 5,000 to 10,000 homosexuals were killed during the Nazi era.

Even though the end of the war meant an improvement in the situation for gays in Bremen, Paragraph 175 remained in force until 1966. This continued to make homosexuality a punishable offence. Popular and vacant meeting places were therefore pubs or the flaps, in order not to be recognised in public. 

Today, Bremen is considered a pioneer of equal rights for gays. In 1979, the first Christopher Street Day in Germany took place in Bremen - at that time still under the name "Gay Carnival". The city-state takes on a true role model function when it comes to equal rights. Equality gay-lesbian partnerships, the protection of registered partnerships and the prohibition of discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation were included in the state constitution of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen.

Special support for gays and lesbians in Bremen today is offered by the association "Rat und Tat - Zentrum für queeres Leben". The non-profit association, which has existed since 1982, represents the interests of queer people and offers them and their friends a meeting place. In addition, the volunteers advise gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transsexuals as a point of contact for questions about sexual orientation or HIV and AIDS.

Christopher Street Day in Bremen

Christopher Street Day in the Hanseatic city is organised by Christopher Street Day (CSD) Bremen e. V. and is a real highlight in the gay community in summer. In addition to the organisers, numerous organisations and associations have decided to support queer life in Bremen and to offer lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders a platform for exchange and tolerance. The Christopher Street Days parade is formed by many individual participants, but also by groups, and is led through the city centre in a highly visible manner.

As a demonstration, the CSD Parade offers the gay community of Bremen an opportunity to express their opinions, wishes and criticism of the current situation of homosexuals. The desire for more tolerance and acceptance is still a big factor in the rainbow community.

Even though Bremen is in principle a very tolerant city, Christopher Street Day in Bremen has a rather bumpy past. As in other big cities all over the world, the demonstrations with reference to Christopher Street in New York also started in Bremen in the late 1970s. Quickly the Pride Parade became an annual tradition until it came to a quick end in 1994. Due to the lack of a local gay community network, a revival of Christopher Street Day in Bremen was not possible until 2017.

In the same year as the vote of the German Bundestag on same-sex marriage, a demo parade then took place again in 2017 for Christopher Street Day. This was made possible by a variety of marketing measures and many volunteers. Since then, the CSD in Bremen has taken place annually with a parade through the city centre of Bremen. Afterwards, people gather at the rallies with stage programmes from politics, culture and information.

Events like Christopher Street Day are especially important for the gay community. They give gays, lesbians, trans and bisexuals a platform where they can exchange views and fight for more acceptance in society free from discrimination. Because even though equality should be largely developed nowadays, there are still gays in Bremen who do not dare to openly express their homosexuality for fear of discrimination. Be a part of the Christopher Street Day in Bremen and support the local gay community.
