A podcast about queer people in the history of Germany. Most people have heard of Stonewall or go to CSD once a year. Despite this, queer people have rarely appeared in the history books. Who were the people who fought for queer visibility in politics in Germany? Who dared to make films with gay and lesbian actors and actresses? Which queer athletes have spoken out in front of the camera? Which queer musicians have come out, and with what motivation? How have they been reacted to?
In this podcast, our three queer hosts Phenix, Meili Scheidemann and Florian Prokop delve into the part of German history that finally needs to be told.

📔 Summary of this episode
In the latest episode of "queer story", the podcast dedicated to exploring and telling Germany's queer history, Meili and Flo take a deep dive into the world of sport. The episode begins with an introduction to the central theme of the series: exploring the people and movements that have fought for the rights and recognition of the LGBTQ+ community. Meili and Flo ask who has led these struggles, who is continuing them today and what struggles are still outstanding.
This episode focuses on the specific question of what it means to be "queer" in sport. The discussion centres on the treatment of queer athletes and the problematic practices of gender control in sport. Particularly interesting are the interviews with well-known personalities such as Tanja Walter-Ahrens, a former Bundesliga footballer and sports scientist, and Balian Buschbaum, a former pole vaulter who ended his sporting career to make his trans identity public.
In addition, Anja Mittag, one of Germany's most successful female footballers, provides insights into her experiences of coming out in professional football. These personal stories are backed up by hard facts, as a 2018 survey shows that 96% of queer people surveyed recognise problems with homophobia and transphobia in sport.
From a historical perspective, the episode also refers to early queer athletes such as Otto Peltzer and Gottfried von Cramm, who were persecuted for their sexuality despite their successes. A more positive example is Karin Büttner-Janz, one of the most successful German gymnasts, who was also known to be openly queer.
This episode of "queer story" is not only a powerful exploration of the intersections of sport, gender and sexuality, but also a call for dialogue and change in one of the most traditional and binary areas of our society.
