Projektion auf die Krise (Gauweilereien in München) = Projection on the crisis (Gauweilereien in Munich)

Philipp Gufler

This publication takes a kaleidoscopic and retrospective look at the early days of the AIDS crisis in Germany during the 1980s - a time in which Munich's repressive policies against gay people reached its peak: the arrival of the pandemic in Germany and the Bavarian response to it, consisting of a catalogue of measures which envisioned forced testing and separation, instigated by Peter Gauweiler who was Bavarian Secretary of State at the time.
