Heidelberg University: Lesbian Life Worlds Between 1920 and 1970

Share
What was life like for women attracted to women in the years between 1920 and 1970? What obstacles and discrimination did they come up against during the time of National Socialism and what were the consequences of this persecution and exclusion in the post-1945 period? Was it possible to lead non-normative lives within the norms set by politics, law, society and science? Researchers from Heidelberg University and the University of Freiburg are examining these questions in an interdisciplinary research project on lesbian life worlds in the German Southwest. The Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science has allocated approx. 200,000 euros to fund the project, which is led by Prof. Dr Katja Patzel-Mattern, Prof. Dr Karen Nolte (both from Heidelberg) and Prof. Dr Sylvia Paletschek (Freiburg).
