"Die Freundin" - THE Lesbian magazine

01/12/2023

Die Freundin, (in English "The Girlfriend" was the first lesbian magazine in the world, published in Berlin from 1924 to 1933.

The magazine published not only photos of semi-nude women but also short stories and novellas, covering  various topics, from political stories to information on lesbian nightspots.

Sadly, such a magazine couldn't survive under the fascist government. The Nazis shut it down in 1933.
