About this project

Anna Roth from Queer Space Heidelberg. e.V. is responsible for this project
What problem does your organization or project address?
Queer people in Heidelberg need a safe, visible, and accessible space for interaction, self-help, culture, and empowerment. Until now, there has been no central place where queer life can be openly lived and organized. Especially young, marginalized, or financially disadvantaged queer people often lack a protected space for connection, support, and growth.

Who do you want to help?
Our project is aimed at the entire queer community in Heidelberg and the surrounding area – especially young people, FLINTA*, trans*, non-binary, BIPoC queers, queer refugees, and financially disadvantaged queer people. We want to create a space where everyone feels welcome, safe, and seen.

How do you plan to proceed and what are the steps?
In 2024, we renovated the Queer Space with much volunteer work and turned it into a community hub. Now we want to:
  • Close the existing financial deficit through donations,
  • Improve the infrastructure further (accessibility, technology, furnishings),
  • Ensure long-term stable funding for rent, events, and open offerings.
  • The goal is to keep the space permanently accessible and vibrant.
Who is involved?
The Queer Space is run by an open, volunteer collective. Many individuals from the queer community contribute their time and energy – in organizing, renovating, event planning, and public relations. We also collaborate with local groups, associations, and activists.

Is there a timeline for your project?
The renovation is complete – the space is already in operation. The next steps (debt repayment and further development) are planned for completion by the end of 2025. The goal is to operate sustainably from 2026 onwards, with stable funding and expanded offerings.

What do you specifically need donations for?
We need donations to:

  • Cover the renovation deficit (e.g., for materials),
  • Purchase necessary equipment (e.g., technology, furniture),
  • Continue offering open café hours and events for free,
  • Provide free room usage for young groups.
Every donation helps secure queer space in Heidelberg!
