A wreath for freedom: memory of John F. Kennedy in Schöneberg

An emotional moment for Tempelhof-Schöneberg! The district commemorates a legend of world history - John F. Kennedy! Every year this unforgettable politician is honored with a wreath, and this time, too, people were together to appreciate his imperishable influence. District Mayor Jörn Oltmann takes the floor and speaks out what many think: "His words and deeds have shaped the history of our city and the world sustainably!"

On June 26, 1963 it was when Kennedy with his famous statement "I am a Berliner!" The masses in front of the Schöneberg town hall delighted. These words not only captivated a prominent audience, but also embodied the unshakable spirit of freedom. It was tragic, just five months later, when this visionary was brutally torn from life on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas.

The words of the board fulfilled the air with thoughtfulness: "Freedom is not a natural gift. We have to protect them and act together!" Oltmann emphasizes that Kennedy remains a source of inspiration that stimulates us to stand up for the good. He appeals to the citizens to be guided by Kennedy's commitment - especially at a time when we need humans who bring together and have the courage to break new ground.
