Berlin, Germany
Germany's first gay bookstore on Motzstraße, open since 1978
Germany's first gay bookstore, founded in 1978 and on Motzstraße in Schöneberg — Berlin's original gay neighborhood — since 2013. The shop stocks over 20,000 titles of LGBTQ+ literature in German and English: fiction, history, art photography, biographies, children's books for rainbow families, plus international magazines and zines. Winner of the German Bookstore Prize in 2025. Beyond retail, it runs monthly book clubs in both German and English, author readings, and rotating gallery exhibitions of queer art. The store also has deep roots in Berlin's queer infrastructure — it's connected to the founding of the Teddy Award at the Berlinale. Open Monday through Saturday until 8pm.
