Abstract
For opponents of the sexual reform movement he was the father of all evil, for supporters of the decriminalization of same-sex desire he was a pioneer of objective research. With the term “Urning” he gave homosexuals an anthropological dignity. The Hanoverian lawyer Karl Heinrich Ulrichs (1825–1895) was notorious during his lifetime and appreciated for some time after his death, but it was not until the 1990s that he became an unsung hero of sexual emancipation. Streets and squares were named after him, but his life‘s work was also exploited in many ways.
