Mr Rubber Europe is more than a title: it is a celebration of Europe’s vibrant rubber community, built on friendship, visibility and, above all, fun.
2007–2013: the beginning of Mr Euro Rubber by Rubclub
Ⓡ Rubclub
The story began in 2007 in Karlsruhe, Germany, with the creation of Mister Euro Rubber by the famous Rubclub. Rubclub enriched the gay scene with fetish parties from 1998 to 2014, when it stopped its activities due to the lack of suitable venues.
Rubclub produced several editions of the Mr Rubclub title and three editions of Mr Euro Rubber in 2007, 2011, and 2013 during the lively Rubberpride Pentecost weekends. Rubberpride events brought rubber lovers from across Europe together in a fun and playful atmosphere.
The title created early European visibility and connections that would inspire the future of the community.
2018-2020: a community reboot and Mr Rubber Europe
In 2018, a group of engaged rubberists and community leaders relaunched the title under the name Mr Rubber Europe. Two energetic, high-profile and fun editions were held during the Darklands Festival in Antwerp, Belgium (2018 and 2019), reconnecting communities and bringing rubber on an international stage.
The title was envisioned to become a traveling European initiative carried by different communities across the continent, starting with the April 2020 edition planned during the Manchester Rubber Weekend MRM11 in Manchester, UK.
The momentum was unexpectedly paused by the COVID crisis, but the vision of a traveling European title did not disappear.
2024 onwards: the Confederation of European Rubber Clubs (CERC)
In 2024, the title was relaunched in Barcelona and embedded within the newly founded Confederation of European Rubber Clubs (CERC), a growing network of rubber clubs and groups across the continent.
This structure ensures that Mr Rubber Europe is not owned by one organisation or individual, but carried collectively into the future by the European rubber community.
Today, the travelling title moves across Europe, allowing local communities to host, shape and celebrate it in their own cultural context.
Mr Rubber Europe continues to grow as a platform for visibility, friendship and unforgettable rubber moments across the continent.
