About
Located in the heart of Schöneberg, AHA-Berlin e. V. is a cornerstone of the Berlin queer scene. As one of the city's oldest continuously active LGBTQ+ associations—boasting over 50 years of history—this non-commercial, volunteer-run community center is a vital stop on any traveler’s gay map. Unlike standard commercial clubs, AHA (Allgemeine Homosexuelle Arbeitsgemeinschaft) offers a cozy, alternative sanctuary where diversity is celebrated through a DIY, grassroots spirit. Whether you're looking for a relaxed 'Spieleabend' (game night), an outrageous drag performance, or the legendary 'Auf die Bühne, fertig, los!' queer open-stage night, AHA-Berlin provides a welcoming platform for everyone. It serves as an essential meeting point for gay men, lesbians, trans individuals, and the wider queer spectrum, fostering a safe space to be creative and authentic. Its eclectic program ranges from political discussions to cabaret and niche cultural shows. If you are seeking an authentic, queer-friendly atmosphere that captures the true soul of alternative Berlin, Monumentenstraße 13 is your destination. Welcoming, inclusive, and fiercely independent, AHA-Berlin e. V. remains a beacon of queer joy and activism in the German capital.
