Berlin’s 1920’s queer scene sparked transgender visibility with pioneering surgeries and legal protections until the Nazi’s rise crushed this vibrant culture.

This photo, taken in 1921 in front of Magnus Hirschfeld’s Institut für Sexualwissenschaft (Institute for Sexuality) in Berlin, captures a beacon of hope for transgender individuals. Later raided by Nazis, who burned over 20,000 books and records, the Institute was a global pioneer in gender-affirming care.

During the Weimar Republic (1918–1933), Berlin, known as the ā€œqueer capital of Europe,ā€ fostered a bold transgender movement. Magnus Hirschfeld, a gay Jewish sexologist, coined the term ā€œtransvestiteā€ in 1910 to describe those whose gender identity differed from their assigned sex, shaping modern transgender concepts.

Founded in 1919, the Institute offered counseling, hormone therapy, and early surgeries like facial feminization, supporting figures like Lili Elbe. The Transvestitenschein pass, issued from around 1908, allowed trans people to dress authentically without fear of arrest, it often included name changes.

Berlin’s nightlife thrived at venues like the Eldorado nightclub, where drag balls and fashion parades created safe spaces for self-expression. In 1930, Das 3. Geschlecht, the first transgender magazine, shared stories and poetry, fostering community. However, respectability politics pressured trans individuals to conform to middle-class norms, marginalizing those who didn’t. Trans men, often misread as queer women, faced unique barriers in gaining recognition.

The Nazi regime’s ascent halted this progress. On May 6, 1933 Nazi students stormed the Institute, burning its archives and using patient lists to arrest many. Trans individuals like Toni Simon and Liddy Bacroff were sent to concentration camps like Buchenwald, facing persecution or death. Rigid Nazi gender norms erased Weimar’s advances.

Weimar’s trans history underscores the resilience of gender-diverse communities and Hirschfeld’s vision. Their work laid foundations for modern trans rights, reminding us to protect hard-won freedoms.

We honor those who lived authentically against the odds—even amid a tyrannical government.
