Siegessäule is a German magazine for Berlin's LGBT community. Its name is derived from the Siegessäule ("Victory Column"), a phallus-shaped Berlin monument located near a cruising area in the Tiergarten park.
The first edition of Siegessäule was published in March 1984 by the German group Treffen Berliner Schwulengruppen in the rooms of the Allgemeine Homosexuelle Arbeitsgemeinschaft.
Today the magazine and its corresponding website are published by Special Media SDL. The free magazine distributes 60,000 copies monthly as of October 2014. The magazine is largely in German, but since 2012 includes additional English content targeted at expatriates and tourists.
The magazine sponsors an annual Reader's Choice Award as part of the Teddy Awards, an annual film award for LGBT films screened at the Berlin International Film Festival.
