Karin Schönpflug

Christine Klapeer, Luan Pertl and Karin Schönpflug are founding members of Klub Rosa Amalie. Rosa Amalie wants to reintegrate thoughts on economic inequality, class and visions of more just societies into conversations in LGBTIQ and feminist communities. “Rosa” and “Amalie” are the first names of important feminist fighters against class privilege, poverty and economic exploitation, for instance Rosa Luxemburg or the lesbian socialist Rosa Jochmann or Amalie Seidel, who initiated Austrias first strike of female workers!

Christine, Luan and Karin are long term counsellors of Vienna’s lesbian* counselling center.
