The adult video and sex shop LSD in the building that once housed the photography retailer Wegert Foto at Potsdamer Straße 124-126.
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
Deutsch: Videokino & Sexshop LSD im ehemaligen Wegert Foto Haus in der Potsdamer Straße 124-126. Rotlicht und Prostitution haben mehr als 125 Jahre Tradition im Norden Schönebergs. Dieses "Milieu" bot unter anderem den Nährboden für die Entwicklung der heutigen LSBTIQ+ Kultur(en). Heute konzentrieren sich die LSBTIQ+ Angebote für größtenteils schwule Männer süd-westlich des Nollenorfplatzes, wo der Rotlichtcharakter der Gegend so gut wie verschwunden ist. Nord-östlich des Nollendorfplatzes ist jedoch die (cis* und trans* weibliche) Straßenprostitution bis heute allgegenwärtig. Eine bürgerliche Assimilation des Berufsstands der Sexarbeiter*in, wie es den vor wenigen Jahrzehnten ebenso verpönten schwulen Männer (ob Sexarbeiter oder Bundesminister) vergönnt war, erscheint weiterhin undenkbar. So offenbart sich an der "Potse", wie die Gegend auf Berlinerisch genannt wird, nach wie vor der Widerspruch zwischen bürgerlichen Belangen, und der Wirklichkeit eines Marktes, der nicht existieren soll. English: The adult video and sex shop LSD in the building that once housed the photography retailer Wegert Foto at Potsdamer Straße 124-126.
Adult entertainment, and prostitution have a more than 125 year old tradition in northern Schöneberg. This "adult entertainment" industry was among other things the cradle of the LGBTIQ+ culture(s). In the present day the venues that cater to LGBTIQ+ (primarily gay male) clientele are concentrated on the south-west of Nollendorfplatz where the red-light district character of the neighborhood has all but disappeared. To the north-east of Nollendorfplatz however, (cis* and trans* female) street prostitution is as pervasive as ever. Bourgeois assimilation of the sex-work profession analogous to the assimilation of until recently similarly frowned upon gay men (no matter whether sex-worker or government minister) remains utopian. On the "Potse", as the general area is called, the contradiction becomes visible between the interests of local merchants and property owners, and the reality of a market that doesn't officially exist. |
