About Hennigsdorf Pride
Oberhavel Pride isn't tied to one fixed location. It moves between towns within Brandenburg's Oberhavel district instead. The Oberhavel Pride Initiative runs it, holding voting membership in the district's youth council, Kreisjugendring Oberhavel e.V. – an unusual setup that ties the pride event closely to the district's established youth work.
Regardless of the host town, the format stays similar: a roughly two-kilometre march that starts at a central square, loops through the town centre, and returns to its starting point. Further activities and live music follow there. Groups and floats can join the march, and the whole thing stays deliberately low-key and locally organised rather than a polished, professional production.
As with many prides outside the big cities, counter-protests from the right draw some of the public attention here too. Press coverage repeatedly points to Oberhavel Pride as an example of how queer visibility works in rural areas – not without friction, but with growing turnout over the years.
Communication runs mainly through Instagram and Facebook. There's no independent website with proper content pages; the official domain simply redirects straight to the social media channels. Anyone looking for current details on the meeting point, timing, and programme will find them most reliably there.
Rotating the host town within the district means Oberhavel Pride reaches different towns and their communities directly over time, rather than settling permanently in one place. That makes it one of the more mobile pride formats in Germany.
