About this place Prinz Eisenherz Buchladen

Prinz Eisenherz, Berlin’s oldest LGBTQ+ bookshop, has been a cornerstone of queer culture in Schöneberg since 1978. The shop sits on Motzstraße, a few steps from the Nollendorfplatz bars that once buzzed with early‑night revelry. Its long history began on a cramped corner in West Berlin and has survived several moves before settling into its current spot in the Schöneberg gay district. Inside, the shelves are a mix of German titles and a sizable English section. You’ll find novels, memoirs, history, theory, photography and art books all side by side. The staff, who know the catalog by heart, are quick to suggest a title that fits your mood. It’s open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, and closes on Sunday. The shop hosts readings and book launches, giving authors a quiet stage to speak. Just a block away is the Schwules Museum, and the Nollendorfplatz bars provide a perfect after‑shop nightcap.

Fantastic queer bookstore with a great section and lovely atmosphere. Went in on a Thursday morning and it was very quiet and pleasant. Staff were very friendly.

The very nice and friendly employee gave me great advice, and I found two lovely books and a magazine. There's a really wide selection of books with gay (and lesbian) content (I was initially a bit skeptical because of the term "queer," as I'm not very familiar with it). So I'll definitely come back on my next visit to Berlin. 🏳️‍🌈

Queer and diverse, something for everyone. The children's book section is fantastic. Book requests are fulfilled, and anything not in stock is ordered. Wonderful team. Support your people!
