Charlotte von Mahlsdorf

Berlin Gay Pride Parade, 1994 Charlotte von Mahlsdorf (18 March 1928 – 30 April 2002) was a well-known transgender woman in East Germany and founded the Gründerzeit Museum in Berlin-Mahlsdorf. Later she became a LGBT-icon in Germany because of Rosa von Praunheim's biopic I Am My Own Woman (1992).

When a local mansion was due for demolition, von Mahlsdorf was allowed to live there, and its contents became the basis for her collection of everyday household items from the Gründerzeit period (c. 1870s). The museum became a popular meeting-point for East Berlin’s gay community, to the disapproval of the East German regime (Stasi). Provided by Wikipedia
