Why parts of the great star are painted colorful

The transport hub in Berlin-Mitte, the big star, is partially transformed into a large rainbow flag for a few weeks. This is done as part of the cultural summer festival and in cooperation with the district office Mitte and the state -owned event agency Kulturprojekt Berlin. The aim is to send a strong sign of a liberal and open city on the occasion of Pride Month and Christopher Street Day (CSD) in Berlin.

The temporary representation of a "progress-pride flag" on the big star is intended to point out that Berlin is a city that stands for tolerance, diversity and acceptance. The city also wants to express its solidarity with the LGBTQ+community. The Pride Month and the CSD in Berlin are recurring events in which the right and visibility of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexuals and queer are the focus.

The Christopher Street Day will take place on July 22nd this year and around 500,000 people are expected. In addition to various events and actions, the band Tokio Hotel is also planned.

The action to paint parts of the large star colorful should draw attention to these important topics and to set a clear statement for acceptance and equality. The rainbow flag is internationally a symbol for the LGBTQ+movement and is used worldwide at Pride events.

The painting of the street areas on the large star is carried out by employees of Kulturprojekt Berlin. The work takes place as part of the cultural summer festival that offers various cultural events and promotions in Berlin.

Berlin thus sets a strong sign of open and tolerant coexistence in society and is actively committed to the rights and visibility of the LGBTQ+community. The temporary representation of the "Progress-Pride-Flag" on the big star is a visible symbol for these efforts and is intended to encourage visitors and locals to work for an open and tolerant city.
