Gesundheitsamt Emden / Café LifePoint

Café Life-Point at the Emden Health Department provides a welcoming and inclusive space for individuals of all sexual orientations and gender identities. Visitors enjoy a relaxed atmosphere for chatting, mingling, and having drinks in an environment of acceptance and openness. Fully accessible and situated at the back of the health office on Ysaac-Brons-Straße 16, it serves as a community hub.

Beyond regular café hours, the venue hosts diverse groups and counseling sessions, including meetings for SCHLAU Ostfriesland, Oostfrees Trans* Lüü, Ruhig Blut, and other queer support networks. It functions as a key resource for health advice on sexually transmitted infections such as HIV, hepatitis, and syphilis, offering anonymous, confidential, and often free testing and information services. Prevention events, condom distribution, and personalized consultations enhance its offerings. Life-Point promotes the celebration of diversity, creating a safe haven for exchange and support within the LGBTQ+ community.
