Memorial to the first homosexual emancipation movement, Commemorative sculpture at Magnus-Hirschfeld-Ufer, Berlin, Germany

The Memorial to the First Homosexual Emancipation Movement stands on the Magnus-Hirschfeld-Ufer between the Luther and Moltke bridges. Six metal calla lilies on bright green stems, each bloom a different rainbow colour, rise more than four metres from a paved area of roughly 350 by 550 cm, spaced so passers-by can walk between them. Two grey steles with photographs and a plaque stand to the left.

Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld founded the Scientific-Humanitarian Committee in 1897, initiating the first organized homosexual rights movement globally. The research institute he later directed influenced scientific discussion about sexuality until its destruction in the 1930s.

The installation uses calla lilies to represent sexual diversity, as these flowers naturally contain both male and female parts on a single plant. The memorial marks a location of deep importance for the LGBTQ movement in Germany.

The memorial is located between Luther Bridge and Moltke Bridge and is freely accessible for visitors to walk among the flowers. It works well as a brief stop while strolling along the riverbank.

The memorial stands near the site of Magnus Hirschfeld's Institute for Sexual Research, opened in 1919 between today's Federal Chancellery and the Haus der Kulturen der Welt. Nazi supporters plundered the institute on 6 May 1933, and Hirschfeld's expropriation ended it that November. The riverbank was renamed Magnus-Hirschfeld-Ufer on 6 May 2008, and two memorial panels followed on 2 September 2011.
