Der Kreis (German: [deːr ˈkraɪs], The Circle) was a Swiss gay magazine. Founded as the lesbian magazine Freundschaftsbanner in 1932, it turned into a male-only magazine in 1942 under the name Der Kreis. It was trilingual and distributed internationally and gained significant influence in the homosexual movement at the time until it ceased publication in 1967.
