It´s when folks dressed up as the half-goat, half-demon <strong>Krampus</strong> – thought to be rooted in pre-Christian folklore and used to scare kids into behaving – run rampant through the streets of various towns and cities, mock-terrorizing all and sundry but particularly the little ones. Charming bit of holiday cheer, eh? In my opinion it´s enough to keep the couches of <strong>Sigmund Freud</strong>´s descendants full for the rest of their lives. <br /><br />Read more in my post <a href="https://tripatini.com/profiles/blogs/unusual-christmas-traditions-of-the-world?edited=1" target="_blank">A Quirky Christmas tp All! 10 of the World´s Weirdest Yuletide Traditions</a>.<br /><br /></p>

Several LGBTQ social movements and institutions were founded in Berlin, including the Institute Of Sexology and the Scientific-Humanitarian Committee, which campaigned for the equal rights of gay people in Germany in the early 20th century. Tragically, of course, all that came to an end with.the rise of the Nazis, but after the war, Berlin resumed its tolerant ways, and in the 1950s became one of the first cities in Europe to open public gay bars, and the city’s popularity among artists and writers fotered a liberated approach to sexuality, producing some of the first LGBTQ media in popular culture.</p>
<p>These days Germany's capital is home to more than 170 gay bars and numerous monuments in the memory of queer activists around the city. The nightlife in Berlin is famously popular due to its thriving music scene, and many gay bars and drag nights alike can be found within easy walking distance. Plus in late June through much of July, <strong><a href="https://csd-berlin.de/" target="_blank">Christopher Street Day</a></strong> (this year beginning July 22, the cultimation of Pride month starting une 28) is one of the world's largest gay pride parades in the world, featuring brightly coloured floats, music, and outrageous costumes.</p>
<p>This fun-loving city - and also one of the world's safest - is a friendly and vibrant destination for rainbow travellers. The premier gay neighbourhood is <strong>Schöneberg</strong>, a thriving community of gay clubs and bars (such as 24-year-old <strong><a href="https://www.prinzknecht-berlin.de/" target="_blank">Prinzknecht</a></strong> considered one of Berlin's best gay pubs), and the 38-year-old <strong><a href="https://www.schwulesmuseum.de/" target="_blank">Schwules (Gay) Museum</a></strong>. others include <strong>Prenzlauer .Berg</strong>, <strong>Friedrichshain</strong>, and <strong>Kreuzberg</strong>/<strong>Neuköln</strong>.</p>

Starting in eastern Germany - first in <strong>Dessau</strong> (pictured here), then in <strong>Weimar</strong>, and finally a third school in <strong>Berlin</strong> - this school's aesthetic and philosophy had a huge impact on the arts, design (especially furniture and household objects), and architecture not just in <strong>Germany</strong> but the rest of <strong>Europe</strong> and beyond - and one whose impact is still felt a century later.</p>
<p>Sadly, the increasingly ascendant <strong>Nazis </strong>viewed its work as "degenerate art", and the last school was finally shut down in 1933, though acolytes then became successful in spreading Bauhaus design beyond Germany's borders (three masterful examples being <strong>Wassily Kandinsky</strong>, <strong>Paul Klee</strong>, and<strong> Mies Van der Rohe</strong>). Now in 2019, the various organisations and tourism boards are pulling out all the stops to celebrate the many extant examples of Bauhaus (whose major locations are now collectively a <strong>UNESCO World Heritage Site</strong>), and to promote a yearlong programme of events surrounding it.</p>
