In 1985, together with Herta Leistner and Ute Wild , she initiated the first lesbian conferences at the Evangelical Academy in Bad Boll , for which she was jointly responsible every year until 1997.

In 1987 Monika Barz, Herta Leistner and Ute Wild wrote the book “Would you have thought that we were so many. Lesbian Women in Church ”. The book and the conferences acted like an initial spark in the entire German-speaking area: The conferences became a protected space in which lesbian women in the churches could develop networks and political forms of solidarity for the first time. Networks like the LUK (lesbian and church), the MuM (Maria and Martha network) found their origin in Bad Boll and gave rise to the networks Labrystheia and NKL (network of catholic lesbians). From 1993 to 2016 Monika Barz taught as a professor in the field of “Theory and Practice of Social Work with Girls and Women” at the Evangelical University in Ludwigsburg. The subject of research was questions of women and gender studies.
