About:

Die Busche is a gay and lesbian dance club whose beginnings go back to East Berlin in the 1980s. The name “Busche” harkens back to the early 1980s, and LGBT dance events held in a multi-purpose hall on Buschallee in Berlin-Weißensee in East Berlin. In die Busche’s early days, prominent co-founders of the GDR lesbian-gay movement, such as Christiane Seefeld, “mother of HIB*”, worked the bar.

The atmosphere in die Busche is to the present day somewhat more relaxed and intimate when compared to other large LGBT and LGBT-friendly Berlin night clubs.

✱) The Homosexuellen Interessengemeinschaft Berlin (HIB) (English: Homosexual Interest Group Berlin) was an early East-German LGBT organization founded in East Berlin in 1973.
