Magnus-Hirschfeld-Centrum (MHC)

The Magnus-Hirschfeld-Centrum, named after the pioneering Hamburg-born sexologist, is the city's main LGBTQ+ community centre, located on Borgweg in Winterhude. It houses counselling services, youth and coming-out groups, and cultural and community events, and has historically been the umbrella from which other Hamburg queer projects grew. It is a key anchor of the city's organised LGBTQ+ life.
