Together to victory: CDU relies on sports in the case of Olympic acquisition!

In the Brandenburg state parliament, the event presented itself today under the motto "Winning together - politics meets sport" as a real highlight. Organized by the CDU, the smallest faction in the state parliament, numerous medalists, athletes and officials came together to discuss the Olympic acquisition of Berlin. It is noteworthy that the CDU achieved weak results in the past state elections, but had recorded success in Mayor elections at the local level in Kleinmachnow and Greater Berries. This shows that despite the difficulties at the state level of sport, sport acts as a connecting element.

The event not only offered political conversations, but also cultural performances. Guard dancers brought momentum to the "Can-Can" by Jacques Offenbach with a choreography. In addition, the support of the World Dance Sports Association for the recognition of dance was emphasized as an Olympic sport. Such aspects underline the social added value that the Olympic ideas bring and show that sport has space not only on the competition field, but also in social interaction.

The Olympic acquisition in focus

The discussion about Berlin's Olympic acquisition is in full swing. Together with Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein, Berlin is planning an application for the games in the years between 2036 and 2044. The concept that is called "Berlin+" is to be presented on Tuesday in the Olympic Stadium. The Prime Minister and the Governing Mayor of Berlin, Kai Wegner, will present the plans and explain how existing sports facilities can be used optimally.

However, resistance is stimulated in the population. Critics, including the Berlin Greens and the alliance "Nolympia", express concerns about financing and possible burdens for the citizens. According to rbb24 , a referendum was even announced against the Olympic acquisition. The final decision on the application concept should be made by autumn 2026 at the latest. There are also various venues on the list, such as the Jahnsportpark and the stadium on the old forestry.

The way to the decision

In order to conclusively develop the project, the German Olympic Sports Association (DOSB) will evaluate the various concepts of the cities in September. Cologne, Hamburg and Munich are also in the race for hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Every applicant has the opportunity to secure social support from referenders by the end of June 2026. In Munich you are planning a citizens 'vote on October 26, while Hamburg and North Rhine-Westphalia are targeting citizens' participations in spring 2026.

It remains exciting how the applications will develop. The DOSB President, Alfons Weikert, is convinced: "We will find the best concept for Germany." The decision as to which concept will ultimately be presented will be made at an extraordinary DOSB general meeting in autumn 2026. Have a good hand will be crucial here - both for the organization of the games as well as for the political perspectives of the cities involved.

It is clear that the topic of Olympic acquisition causes a lot of discussion and calls on both supporters and critics. In any case, the emerging movement shows that sport in Germany is of great importance and that both politics and the population believe in the possibility of gaining together.
