Schmitz

SCHMIT-Z e.V. in Trier serves as a vital queer center, providing a welcoming space for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, inter, and other queer individuals along with their families. This independent youth welfare organization focuses on counseling, education, culture, and community engagement to boost visibility and acceptance of queer lifestyles in the region.

The atmosphere is inclusive and supportive, fostering connections through diverse groups like the Route 66 youth center and Prisma for those 18 and older. Highlights include organizing events such as Pink Carnival, CSD Trier, theater productions, and film evenings. During warmer months, the Queergarten in Palastgarten offers a relaxed beer garden vibe with karaoke and gatherings. Rooms are available for rent, making it ideal for private events or meetings. Counseling services address personal needs confidentially, while cultural programs enrich the community experience.
