Bützow shows its colors: We are more colorfully installed at the station!
Today, November 10th, 2025, there was an important symbolic action at the train station in Bützow, in the Rostock district. Deutsche Bahn has put up a new additional sign with the catchy slogan “Colourful we are stronger”. This message is intended to send a clear signal for diversity, tolerance and respect. The railway spokesman emphasized the cosmopolitanism and international orientation of the company, which wanted to use this sign to illustrate its values. This initiative follows controversial months in which the station hit the headlines, particularly due to a flying AfD flag that caused anger in the region.
There have been several demonstrations against the flag in recent weeks, further fueling the discussion about the symbolism in this public place. The newly erected sign now seems all the more important, as it creates hope for balanced coexistence in the community. The train station and the reception building no longer belong to Deutsche Bahn, which means that you can only have a limited influence with regard to other flags and their symbolism.
Tolerance and diversity in focus
Many people perceive Deutsche Bahn's move as a positive signal. It is important to create an environment in which people are respected regardless of their origin, faith or political opinion. This commitment to tolerance is particularly important today, as the reporting in the regional news on NDR 1 Radio MV shows.
The sign is also intended to serve as a contact point to promote conversations about social issues and support respectful cooperation. This brings the Bützow train station into focus not only as a transport hub, but also as a place for encounters and exchanges. With this step, Deutsche Bahn is sending an important signal at a time when social cohesion is often put to the test.
The new lettering will appeal not only to travelers, but also to the city's citizens and invite them to create connections. The coming months will show how the initiative is accepted by the population and whether further measures will follow to create an even more diverse and tolerant environment.
For the Bützow region and beyond, this could be the first step into a new chapter - one that not only shapes the station, but also the community around it, where people can be proud of their diversity and similarities.
