Berlin's Historic Prinz Eisenherz Bookstore Receives Recognition
The Berlin bookstore Prinz Eisenherz has been honored with an award. Established as West Germany's first gay bookstore, it holds significant cultural importance. The author recalls personal memories from 1977 when, after moving to West Berlin, he was unexpectedly asked to co-manage the rosa Winkel publishing house alongside Egmont Fassbinder. While the author initially moved to continue political science studies, this invitation marked a notable moment in the city's literary and LGBTQ+ history.
