Queer Life in the Allgäu: Personal Stories, Historical Milestones and New Perspectives

The special exhibition “Untold – Queer Stories from the Allgäu” at the Kempten Museum is dedicated to queer life in the region. The focus is on personal stories and historical milestones that make different experiences visible and provide insight into queer realities in the Allgäu.

Personal Stories and Historical Insights

The exhibition connects individual narratives with important historical contexts. This creates access to topics that have long been poorly told or overlooked in public perception. The title Untold refers to these rarely or never handed down stories and invites visitors to engage with queer past and present in the Allgäu.

Visitors can explore the exhibition at their own pace. In addition to personal stories and historical milestones, it also offers interactive elements that allow for active engagement with the content. Thus, the offering is aimed at anyone who wishes to learn more about queer life in the region and view local history from a different perspective.

Exhibition until January 2027

The special exhibition is open until January 31, 2027. This provides ample opportunity to combine a visit to the Kempten Museum with a stay in Kempten. Additionally, guided tours are offered, allowing for an in-depth engagement with the themes and exhibits.

“Untold – Queer Stories from the Allgäu” makes personal experiences and historical developments visible. The exhibition creates space for memory, exchange, and new perspectives on the history of the Allgäu. Those interested in regional history, social diversity, and queer life will find a local cultural offering with personal and historical relevance.
