The memorial includes an information panel that has been in place since 2011 and discusses the movement with portraits of Anita Augspurg (1857–1943), Karl Heinrich Ulrichs (1825–1895) and Magnus Hirschfeld (1868–1935).

The poster displayed several women, contradicting the male-dominated nature of the movement that the monument commemorated.

The winning design features six thirteen-foot tall statues of calla lilies in rainbow colors.

The designs were displayed at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt in an event attended by 200 people including Klaus Wowereit, Petra Pau, Jan Stöß [de], Daniel Wesener, Klaus Lederer, and Alexander Spies [de].

The monument's cost of 200,000 euros was paid by private donations and the Lotto-Stiftung Berlin [de].
