Queer Lives across the Wall examines the everyday lives of queer
Berliners between 1945 and 1970, tracing private and public queer
life from the end of the Nazi regime through the gay and lesbian
liberation movements of the 1970s. Andrea Rottmann explores how
certain spaces – including homes, bars, streets, parks, and
prisons – facilitated and restricted queer lives in the
overwhelmingly conservative climate that characterized both German
postwar states. By examining both public and private urban spaces,
the book draws a complex picture of how queer lives were lived,
going beyond previous histories that focus on state surveillance
and the persecution of male homosexuality. With a theoretical
toolkit informed by feminist, queer, and spatial theories, the book
combines previously unknown sources from the archives of the
feminist and LGBTIQ* movements in police, Stasi, and prisoner
files. As an intersectional history of lesbian, trans, and gay male
lives in East and West Berlin, Queer Lives across the Wall
illuminates the entanglements of gender, sexuality, and class.
