Original title: "Verzaubert in Nord-Ost: Die Geschichte der Berliner Lesben und Schwulen in Prenzlauer Berg, Pankow und Weißensee" (Enchanted in north-east: The history of the Berlin lesbians and gays in Prenzlauer Berg, Pankow, and Weißensee).
A queer history of the Berlin districts of Prenzlauer Berg, Pankow, and Weißensee. This book wants to enchant and give insights into the hundred-year history of Berlin lesbians and gays in the northeastern districts of Pankow, Prenzlauer Berg, and Weißensee.
The book tells of the beginnings of the imperial era, the Weimar Republic, and the existence-threatening situation during National Socialism. Examples show how the homosexual and transgender scene in East Berlin lived and loved despite repressive measures taken by the Stasi communist secret police.
