Mourning Rosa von Praunheim

Iconic Queer Filmmaker Dies at 83

Born in 1942 in Riga (Latvia), Rosa von Praunheim was a German director and activist and one of the co-founders of the LGBTQ movement in Germany.

Towards the end of the 1960s, Rosa von Praunheim gradually became known for his experimental and short films. With his 1971 film IT IS NOT THE HOMOSEXUAL WHO IS PERVERSE BUT THE SOCIETY IN WHICH HE LIVES, he became one of the leading figures of the queer movement in West Germany and the film became an international underground success going on a world tour.

Rosa von Praunheim was also actively involved in the founding of various groups and organisations for queer people, among them the Berlin SchwuZ club and the counselling centre Mann-O-Meter.

Some of his films immediately acquired cult status, among them DIE BETTWURST (1971), CITY OF LOST SOULS (1983) and CAN I BE YOUR BRATWURST PLEASE? (1999).

In 1990, Rosa von Praunheim won his first Teddy Award at the Berlinale for his AIDS TRILOGY. In 2013 he received the Berlinale Camera and earlier this year he won another Teddy, this time for SATANIC SOW.

His films were shown on festivals world-wide, but also in museums, galleries and cultural centres, and he remained active filming, teaching and lobbying for marginalised groups

Rosa von Praunheim died on 17 December 2025. We will miss him.
