AndersARTiG e.V. / Regenbogenkombinat

AndersARTiG e.V. is Brandenburg's state-wide umbrella association for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans*, inter* and queer communities, based in central Potsdam on Dortustraße. From here it runs the Regenbogenkombinat, a queer meeting place with space for socialising, youth and adult groups, readings, workshops and counselling. The association coordinates queer projects across the whole of Brandenburg, supports the annual Christopher Street Day in Potsdam, and is the main point of contact for LGBTQ+ life in the region. It anchors Potsdam's organised queer scene, which — unlike neighbouring Berlin — is community- and project-driven rather than centred on bars or clubs.
