Bookshop · Schöneberg · Motzstraße · Berlin
Find a book to take home from Berlin at this longstanding queer bookshop on Motzstraße.
Visit the bookshop websiteA book can be a particularly good way to bring a little Berlin home. Founded in 1978, Eisenherz has long been part of the city’s queer cultural life. On Motzstraße, its shelves bring together fiction, biographies, art books and LGBTQ+ writing, including a selection in English. Give yourself time to browse beyond the title you thought you came for.
Readings, discussions and exhibitions add another reason to put Eisenherz on your itinerary. We’d pair an afternoon visit with a walk through the Nollendorf neighbourhood, then stop for a drink nearby. Check the current programme if you’d like to attend something specific: a bookshop visit and an evening event offer quite different ways to discover the same address.
