Lübeck waves: journey of discovery through history and lust for the CSD 2024

Lübeck - The upcoming celebrations for Christopher Street Day (CSD) promise a very special cultural highlight in Lübeck. On Tuesday, August 13, 2024, at 6:00 p.m., the thematic city tour starts, which is immersed in the past of the city and is linked to the present in an unconventional way. Organized by the Aidshilfe Lübeck and accompanied by the committed sister Rosa from the Order of the Perpetual indulgence, this tour is not only enriched with knowledge, but also with humor and joy.

A look behind the scenes of the Lübeck history

The tour is entitled "About red lights and red condoms - hidden behind red brick" and offers the participants the opportunity to explore undiscovered places in Lübeck that have played an important role in the history of prostitution. These places were once only accessible to initiates, but today they are put in a new context as part of the event. Red lights, once the symbol for brothels, lose their negative connotation and become the starting point for an important discussion about the information in the field of HIV prevention.

The role of AIDShilfe and the importance of Enlightenment

A central concern of the city tour is to clarify sexually transmitted diseases and the social stigmatization of those affected. Experts and contemporary witnesses tell impressive stories from the past and bind current social issues. The participants learn more about the activities of AIDShilfe Lübeck and how important prevention work contributes to reducing the infection rates. This type of storytelling is intended to raise awareness of the challenges that affect the LGBTQIA+ community in particular.

cultural diversity and lively discussions

The approximately 2½ to 3-hour tour is not only informative, but also entertaining. Surprising twists and exclusive insights are planned that offer the participants an unforgettable experience. In this way, visitors can look forward to stories about the life and challenges of Heinrich and Thomas Mann, who are rooted in Lübeck.

Community support for a good cause

The event begins at 6:00 p.m. at AIDSHilfe Lübeck, Kreuzweg 2, and the organizers kindly ask for generous donations in order to continue to support the important work of AIDShilfe. This event is not only a celebration of the Pride Week, but also an opportunity to strengthen an appreciative and open-hearted community together.
