• ... that Ursula Sillge created the Sunday Club, named after the day the venue was available, as an alternative to church-sponsored LGBT groups in East Germany? Source: ... Ursula Sillge, gaben jedoch nicht auf. Ihre Bemühungen zeigten 1986 erste Erfolge, als sie die Erlaubnis erhielten, den „Mittzwanziger-Klub“ in der Veteranenstraße für ihre sonntäglichen Veranstaltungen zu nutzen. Denn sonntags war der Club frei. Nichtsdestotrotz war er zunehmend zu einem Anziehungspunkt für Schwule und Lesben geworden, die sich nicht den kirchlichen Gruppen anschließen wollten. 1988 bekam der „Sonntags-Club“ p 47; Bis zur Vereinsgründung 1990 blieb er eine informelle Gruppe aus Lesben und Schwulen, denn von FDJ bis Gesundheitsministerium wollte niemand dem Sonntags-Club ein Dach geben, was für einen Verein notwendig war. „Mir wurde mindestens ein Dutzend Mal gesagt, ich könne das doch alles bei der Kirche machen. Das wollte ich aber nicht. Ich wollte, dass Lesben und Schwule ganz normale Bürger sein dürfen und nicht Oppositionelle“, betont Ursula Sillge.
  • ALT1: ... that Ursula Sillge's attempt to organize a 1978 national lesbian gathering in East Germany led to the banning of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf's venue for LGBT meetings? Source: In 1978, Ursula Sillge set out to organize a GDR-wide meeting of lesbians… On the day itself, 8 April 1978, the hundred or so would-be party-goers were prevented from making their way from the train station to von Mahlsdorfs house, where it was due to take place.101 Although the organizers quickly regrouped, and arranged a number of parties for their visitors, the events of the weekend dealt a profound blow to the HIB. Von Mahlsdorf was banned from holding regular events at her museum…” pp 123-124

Interesting life, on excellent sources, subscription sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I prefer the original hook. I wonder if - at least in the article - the original name styled sonntags/club should appear? I guess you'll translate the article? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:26, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for looking at it Gerda Arendt. I opted to follow en.wp's common name rule. It is noted in numerous English language sources, but always called the Sunday Club, rather than the direct translation Sundays Club. I've added the logo, as you styled it above to the photo image of it. SusunW (talk) 13:11, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

Fine, just asking and learning, - would be Sunday's Club, literally. The logo is a good idea, I just wondered if it was free to be used in articles besides the club. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:25, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
