In 1928, the first guide to the lesbian club scene was published by Ruth Roellig entitled “Ruth Roellig’s Berlins lesbische Frauen (Berlin’s Lesbian Women).” This guide allowed women in Berlin to connect and learn more about the lesbian community.

Despite the illegality of homosexuality during this time period, references to homosexual relationships in cinema grew substantially. Two well-known films from Weimar Germany that centered around homosexual relationships are Anders als die Andern (Different from the Others), which centered around a relationship between two men, and Madchen in Uniform (Girls in Uniform), which focused on a lesbian relationship between a teacher and student. Both of these films received wonderful critical reviews and were commercial hits, opening in Berlin’s top theatres. Despite the wonderful reviews, there was still public outcry over Anders als die Andern including riots at the cinemas where it opened and it was even banned in various theatres including in Munich, Vienna, and Stuttgart.
