traffic disruptions and alternative routes

During the CSD there will be road closures and traffic disruptions along the route. It is recommended to avoid public transport such as S-Bahn and subway because many bus lines are redirected.

Why Christopher Street Day?

The name of the event is derived from the historical events in the Christopher Street in New York City, where the famous Stonewall uprising took place in 1969. Since then, the CSD has stood for pride to be different and to stand up for diversity. He is an annual celebration of the LGBTQ+ community and a sign of solidarity.
