Karl Heinrich Ulrichs


Born
in Aurich, Germany
August 28, 1825

Died
July 14, 1895


Ulrichs was born in Aurich, then part of the Kingdom of Hanover, in north-western Germany. He graduated in law and theology from Göttingen University in 1846. From 1846 to 1848, he studied history at Berlin University, writing a dissertation in Latin on the Peace of Westphalia.

From 1849 to 1857 Ulrichs worked as an official legal adviser for the district court of Hildesheim in the Kingdom of Hanover. He was dismissed when his homosexuality became open knowledge.

He is seen today as the pioneer of the modern gay rights movement and as the promotor of the Living Latin.

“Manor laid his head straight on the beating heart. His lips searched for the gently swelling mound above the heart, which was set in motion by the heartbeat. There Manor began to suckle, longing and thirsting, like a baby on a mother’s breast.”
