About Bruchsal
Bruchsal does not hold a Pride event of its own. The town sits on the western edge of the Kraichgau hills, roughly twenty kilometres north of Karlsruhe, and has the largest population of any municipality in the district of Karlsruhe. People from Bruchsal and the surrounding villages who want to march at Pride usually head to Karlsruhe.
Karlsruhe Pride takes place every summer. It is organised by a volunteer team from a registered association in Karlsruhe. The day has two parts: a demonstration that moves through the city centre, and a family festival with a stage programme that runs through the day. The march is the political heart of the event, calling for visibility and equal rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex and queer people.
Getting there from Bruchsal is easy. Light rail lines S 31 and S 32 connect Karlsruhe with Bruchsal, and regional and long-distance trains also stop at Bruchsal station.
Karlsruhe is also where to go for counselling and sexual health services. ZeSIA, the Centre for Sexual Health, Identity and Education run by AIDS-Hilfe Karlsruhe, offers counselling on identity and diversity, advice on HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, and a Checkpoint for testing. The district of Karlsruhe is among the funders of this work, so the services are open to people from Bruchsal as well.
