Kaufbeuren celebrates: Rainbow café opens for queer families!

A new chapter for queer families in Kaufbeuren begins on July 12, 2025 when the "Rainbow Café for Families" opens its doors for the first time. From 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., all interested families from the Allgäu are cordially invited to spend a cozy afternoon on the premises of the Apfelkern family, at Marktoberdorfer Straße 25. This occasion is organized by the equality offices of the city of Kaufbeuren and the district of Ostallgäu, supported by Allgäu Pride e.V. and the Schwubis advice center. The visitors can expect: a relaxed afternoon with cakes, conversations and the opportunity to make new acquaintances.

The café aims to promote the visibility of queer families and to enable an open and safe exchange. The little ones are also taken care of: childcare on site ensures that the parents can get into conversation carefree. If you want to be there, you should hurry-a registration is required by July 8, 2025 at the e-mail address fsp-apfelkern@web.de. We are reported.
