Mediothek Lübbecke

The Mediothek Lübbecke is the town's public media and cultural centre, housed in the historic old town hall right on the market square. Alongside the usual library services such as book, film and audio lending, it runs a varied programme of readings, workshops and exhibitions for residents and visitors of all ages. The building has become a regular host for the local LGBTIQ+ initiative Be Different Lübbecke, which organises meet-ups and cultural events for queer people and their families in the Minden-Lübbecke region. Exhibitions shown here have included photography projects that document queer life and Pride culture in the wider area, giving the community visibility in a small-town setting where such spaces are still rare. With its central location on the market square, the Mediothek is easy to combine with a stroll through Lübbecke's old town. For visitors interested in the region's queer community life, it is a useful first point of contact alongside the town's other cultural venues.
