# Queer women's event at Munich Oktoberfest > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/queer-womens-event-at-munich-oktoberfest > Updated: 2026-09-26T09:39:51.000Z. Sources: 23. Developments: 4. The inaugural ‘Bier, Boobs, Brezn’ event took place on September 21 at the ‘Bräurosl’ festival tent during the Munich Oktoberfest. Approximately 700 participants attended the premiere, which was specifically designed for lesbian women and FLINTA individuals (women, lesbians, intersex, non-binary, trans, and agender). Organizers Sina Scherer, Silke Völling, and Ricarda Hofmann of ‘Lost Girls’ noted that the initiative was a response to the disappearance of many previous meeting spaces for lesbian women in Munich. They aimed to interpret Oktoberfest traditions through a female lens and create a ‘safe space.’ Participants reported that the dedicated space allowed for a “freer experience of queer culture” with a reduced risk of harassment or unwanted interactions compared to traditional festival settings. The event has since sparked a broader social debate regarding the necessity and utility of gender-specific protected spaces. While supporters advocate for such environments to ensure physical safety and mental stability, the topic has faced significant backlash and hate speech on social media. This discourse has intersected with complex discussions concerning feminist identity, the recognition of trans women’s experiences, and the nuances of female socialization. ## Claims - Lesbian women have lacked a visible role as a distinct community during established queer events at Oktoberfest.
