About Offenburg
Offenburg has its own Pride march, organised by the association Christopher Street Day Offenburg e.V. It was started by three groups working together: the youth wing of the Left party, the queer youth group Bunter Block Offenburg and Bunter Treff from nearby Lahr. The association grew out of that cooperation and has run the march and rally ever since.
Offenburg Pride takes place in summer and is registered as a political demonstration. The march goes through the town centre and ended in the Bürgerpark, where the festival with information stands, speeches and music was held. Local and regional groups presented their work there, including trans rights initiatives, queer centres, hiking groups for gay men and organisations working on sexual health. Political parties and their youth organisations also ran stands.
The town supports the event visibly: the City of Offenburg has raised the European Pride flag at the Historic Town Hall. The event relies largely on volunteers and private donations.
If you want to march along or help out, the local groups are the easiest way in. Bunter Block meets every week at the youth office on Glaserstraße and welcomes young people up to the age of twenty-seven. Adults can join Café Pride, which meets on the second and fourth Thursday of each month in the same building.
