It's finally happening: the CSD Offenbach association has been founded. Offenbach's first Christopher Street Day is planned for 19.09.2026.
On 12.05.2026 the association's founding meeting took place with a total of 32 members. Registration in the register of associations is currently being prepared.
CSD Offenbach stands up for equal rights, social participation and the visibility of LGBTQIA+ people in Offenbach. The goal of the association is to counter prejudice, discrimination and stereotypes, and to make queer life more visible across the city and district.
Planning by the volunteer organising team for Offenbach's first Christopher Street Day on 19.09.2026 is currently in full swing — it is set to take place as a demonstration with an accompanying cultural programme.
At the founding assembly, the board was also elected. It consists of six people:
"In the coming months we want to enter into dialogue with local initiatives, associations, institutions, politics, public administration and other stakeholders. The goal is a visible, solidary and safe CSD for Offenbach."— Hendrik Klemme, Chair of the association
We take a stand against anti-queer violence
Anti-queer violence is on the rise in Germany. Cases are now also occurring in Offenbach in which gay men are lured via dating apps and then violently attacked. The Offenbach Post article of 15 June 2026, titled "Seven cases in Offenbach: gangs lure gay men into ambush via dating app", shows:
Anti-queer violence is nothing new for queer people. But the latest development is alarming.
Violence against queer people cannot be solved by blaming or excluding people with a migration background. The cause is patriarchal structures. These shape a toxic image of masculinity. This image is so fragile that queer ways of life are perceived as a threat. This is exactly where we have to start.
"Violence against queer people has been rising for years. It is not enough to rely on legal equality in Germany. Politicians must fund projects that make queer ways of life visible and normal in society. Education in schools would be an important step."— Hendrik Klemme
"This is not a problem that can be explained by the perpetrators' origin. It is a society-wide problem and must be tackled as such. The perpetrators' origin plays a minor role — police statistics show this too. A one-sided portrayal only serves to stir up sentiment."— Mars Weikert
For more queer visibility and equality! Together with you, we want to create safe spaces for the queer community in Offenbach.
