Das Viertel - the LGBTQ+ neighborhood of Bremen

Bremen CSD takes place in July in one of Germany's most underrated cities. Das Viertel ("The Quarter") - the bohemian neighborhood around Ostertorsteinweg northeast of the Altstadt - is Bremen's LGBTQ+ hub, with bars, independent shops and community spaces concentrated along this pedestrian-friendly street. The area has a distinct alternative character that gives Bremen Pride a more community-focused, less commercial feel than larger German CSDs.

Bremen and the German CSD calendar

Bremen is one of the mid-size German cities that has built a significant CSD alongside the major events in Berlin, Cologne and Hamburg. The event draws participants from across northwestern Germany - from Hamburg, Hanover and the Netherlands border region. Bremen's Hanseatic character - proud of its independence and liberal trading tradition - shapes a Pride with particular civic pride.

The history of Bremen CSD - community organizing in the Viertel

Bremen has held CSD events since the 1980s, with Das Viertel serving as the natural home. The event grew through the German legal advances of the 1990s and 2000s and reached its current scale through the 2010s. Bremen CSD maintains a strong political character alongside the celebration.
