Let's write queer (hi)story!
The Queeres Zentrum Mannheim (QZM) is the place for queer life, people, groups and organizations from the Rhein-Neckar region.
With the QZM, we want to create a low-barrier, inclusive and anti-racist space for queer people and all interested parties to meet.

We greatly appreciate this support, but are working towards becoming self-financing. We cooperate and work together with institutions, organizations and individuals in the queer community and beyond.
Because only together are we strong!
