About LGBTQ+ Kiel

Germany repealed the last of Paragraph 175 in 1994 and opened marriage to same-sex couples in 2017. Kiel, the Baltic port capital of Schleswig-Holstein, has a small, friendly scene, most of it in or near the city centre.

Birdcage on Rathausstraße, a cocktail bar for gays, lesbians and friends with around 300 drinks on the menu, has been a community fixture for more than twenty years, and Harlekin on Kirchhofallee, just south of the centre, is Kiel's oldest gay bar, a traditional pub.
