CSD Rheinsberg: 1000 participants set signs against right -wing extremism!

Rheinsberg, Deutschland - On May 31, 2025, a small town in the north of Brandenburg, the second demonstration train of Christopher Street Day (CSD) takes place. The move begins at 3:00 p.m. and the organizers expect around 1000 participants. The CSD movement is known to most as a platform for the rights of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, trans- and intersex people. This community is not only committed to equal rights and diversity in large cities, but also in smaller cities such as Rheinsberg, such as Tagesspiegel.de reported.

The CSD event in Rheinsberg is accompanied by a large number of musicians, including the well-known band Kraftklub from Chemnitz. This band is not only known for their music, but also for their commitment to right -wing extremism. After the parade through the city center, live music and speeches are planned while the police accompanied the move to ensure the safety of the participants. In the past, however, there have been considerable tensions, since similar events experienced protests and partly violence from the right-wing scene, as in reports from

struggle for fundamental rights

The organizers emphasize the urgency of this event, since the strengthening right-wing extremism represents a serious threat to the fundamental rights of the LGBTQ+community. While the CSDs in Germany were historically created as a sign of emancipation, it can also be seen in Rheinsberg that the struggle for acceptance and equality is still relevant. In the past, the movement has inspired some of the greatest emancipation movements worldwide, starting with the Stonewall tongure in New York 1969, which are considered the turning point in the history of the LGBTQ+rights, it describes the bpb.de .

For many activists, these demonstrations are a way to achieve visibility and show solidarity, regardless of the size of the city. In Rheinsberg, this commitment is further strengthened by the expected participation of EU MPs such as Martin Sonneborn by "Die Party", which underlines the political character of the CSD.

The history of the CSD extends from the first parades in Berlin in the 1970s, where only 450 participants took part in the first event, to the big, colorful moves of today. This development reflects the changes in society, but they still have to be steadily defended today. The CSD remains a platform for the expression of identity and the struggle for equality, both in large cities and in small communities such as Rheinsberg.
