Community Hotspots in the North

Don't miss a visit to these other cities in Northern Germany:


Hannover is the place where you can enjoy a unique variety of stunning attractions from the Royal Gardens of Herrenhausen to the Maschsee - a long tree-lined lake in the town center. A special treat is a relaxing afternoon at the Gay sauna Vulkan.

Bremen's attractions include the Weser-Renaissance-style town hall, the Schnoor - Bremen's oldest quarter, the unusual architecture of quaint little Böttcherstrasse, the cathedral and the venerable figure of Roland on the historical market square. And last but not least, the Bremen Town Musicians from the Brothers Grimm fairytale. Oh, and Bremen is host to the 2010 Gay Games!

Rostock, the almost 800 year old Hanseatic town, has retained much of its original charm and today, together with the seaside resort of Warnemünde, has a diverse cultural scene. This vibrant and cosmopolitan university and port town has a historical center with typical north German brick architecture and a tangible maritime atmosphere.

And a visit to the Island of Sylt which has a sizable gay and lesbian population and is often called "The Fire Island of Europe" is unforgettable. In the 1960s, Sylt became famous for "the rich and the naked," when the entire island was reportedly an ongoing bacchanalian frenzy. It's quieted down since then - but still a lot of fun!
