An impressive look at queer life stories in the shadow of the Nazi era

The traveling exhibition Endangered Lives. Queer People 1933–1945 makes the suppressed history of queer individuals visible at the Historical Museum Bamberg. With documents, photographs, graphics, and quotes, it offers a moving event experience that connects historical responsibility, cultural memory, and current societal issues.

History that does not fall silent

Under the guiding principle of CSD Bamberg e.V., an exhibition space is being created in the Old Court that not only informs but also touches. The exhibition traces life realities between exclusion, persecution, and self-assertion and shows how difficult it was to preserve identity under the conditions of National Socialism.

Authentic sources and strong biographies

The different approaches are particularly impressive: well-known materials meet previously unpublished sources, along with in-depth insights into individual biographies and current research results. This creates a clear, professionally based presentation that guides visitors through the exhibition while also leaving space for personal thoughts.

A place with historical depth

The Old Court at Domplatz 7 adds extra weight to the visit. The historical ensemble in the UNESCO World Heritage site of Bamberg provides an impressive backdrop where the theme of cultural memory has a particularly strong impact. The museum context, central location, and easily accessible connection make the visit close to everyday life and planable.

Admission, access, and practical information

According to the available information, admission is free on weekends through the side entrance behind the Calderon stage; during the week, the regular museum admission applies. The exhibition can be seen in Bamberg from June 6 to 28, 2026. Those interested in queer history, dealing with the Nazi past, and contemporary educational work will find an intense reason to visit here.

Conclusion: This exhibition connects memory, knowledge, and the present into a quiet but lasting experience. Anyone who wants to not only read history but feel it should not miss this date in Bamberg.
