Pink Heritage, the Amsterdam Story
Gaining Official Recognition for LGBT Heritage Sites in Amsterdam
By Thomas Coenraadts
Thesis submitted at the Brandenburgische Technische Universität, Cottbus, January 2017
Summary
This thesis presents a systematic exploration of the official protection of sites and locations in Amsterdam to which members of the local LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans) community attribute great significance. The goal of this research is to identify relevant sites, to analyse which of them could be seen as most significant, and to recommend a site which could be assigned official status by being listed in the monument records, thereby receiving also a way of protection as an official city monument in Amsterdam.
