Hamburg celebrates Pride with increased security one week after deadly Berlin attack
The Hamburg event's motto this time is “Queer in solidarity. Take a stand — for a future without fear.”
Pride celebrations in Berlin continued despite a recent terrorist attack during a previous event. One person was killed and 29 injured in the van attack at a previous Pride gathering. In Bavaria, brass musicians attempted to break a world record by performing a 72-hour live concert in St. Jacob's church. The event featured around 140 bands, with musicians rotating every 90 minutes to avoid interruptions.
Bavaria's premier, Markus Söder, supported the musicians, praising their enthusiasm. In Germany's railway company, Deutsche Bahn, CEO Evelyn Palla criticized the existing decision-making process as unaccountable and inefficient, suggesting substantial improvements would come with managerial changes.
