About Limbach-Oberfrohna
Limbach-Oberfrohna is a town in the district of Zwickau in south-western Saxony. It sits where the Central Saxon hill country meets the foothills of the Ore Mountains, so it is not part of the Ore Mountains proper. The town has no Pride event of its own. Queer people who live here and want to march usually look to the demonstrations held elsewhere in the region, above all in Zwickau and Chemnitz.
Within the district, Pride in Zwickau is the obvious choice. It is organised by a local alliance whose contact address is the cultural association Alter Gasometer. The event takes place in summer and combines a registered demonstration with political demands for equal rights and protection from discrimination. The district of Zwickau itself is listed among its supporters, a sign that Pride is seen as a concern for the whole region and not only for the city.
For queer people from smaller towns such as Limbach-Oberfrohna, a Pride event nearby matters a great deal. It is often the one day of the year when they can be visible, meet others in the same situation and make contacts that last beyond the day.
Chemnitz is another important point of reference. The association different people works there, offering meeting spaces, counselling and education for queer people, their families and anyone interested. Its mobile counselling and its workshops in the surrounding area are aimed explicitly at places outside the city. Anyone who wants to prepare for a Pride event, find people to get involved with or simply meet others will find a good starting point there.
People who would like to start something in Limbach-Oberfrohna itself, such as a rally or an information stand, can contact the alliances and associations of the region. They know how to register a demonstration and can connect volunteers from the town and the wider district.
