Munich probes into its LGBTIQ* history
The Münchner Stadtmuseum, the Stadtarchiv München (Munich City Archives) and Forum Queeres Archiv München e.V. - LesBiSchwulTransInter* in Geschichte und Kultur (lesbians and gays in history and culture) have jointly launched an appeal to collect objects and documents relating to Munich City’s LGBTIQ* history, past and present.
The Münchner Stadtmuseum and Stadtarchiv München are, in a sense, the city’s cultural and material memory, putting on many different facets of Munich’s progress and multiple cultures. By opening up their collections to more recent issues affecting Munich’s diverse urban society, they are breaking fresh ground. Themes such as migration, people living on the edge, mobility and LGBTIQ* issues hold not featured prominently in urban documentation heretofore.

Tips and events for the queer community
Oktoberfest stands for tolerance, respect and diversity
The largest folk festival in the earth stands for cosmopolitanism, tolerance and diversity. The City of Munich is committed to these ethics and expressly welcomes LGBTIQ* people at the Oktoberfest and fights against all forms of discrimination.
At the Wiesn , the Urban area of Munich set an example by hoisting two rainbow flags at the entrance. "The Wiesn stands for Munich's motto 'live and let live' like no other event. Two men kissing or women holding hands are completely normal there. Tolerance is an essential measure of the peacefulness of the Wiesn," says Wiesn boss Clemens Baumgärtner.
