About Königs Wusterhausen Pride
Königs Wusterhausen, a town in the Dahme-Spreewald district southeast of Berlin, hosts a Pride march organized by the local civic initiative Demokratie Dahme-Spree. It's the town's first Pride event. Backing it is a broad coalition of regional civil-society groups and parties, all sending a joint signal against anti-queer hostility and discrimination.
The march sets off from Königs Wusterhausen train station and moves through town to the Festwiese, the meadow where the event winds down. Under the motto "love instead of hate," everyone who wants to stand up for diversity, acceptance and equal rights is welcome, rainbow flags, banners and good spirits included.
From Berlin and the surrounding region, getting there is straightforward: Königs Wusterhausen station is the terminus of S-Bahn line S46 and is also served by regional express trains RE 2, RE 7 and RE 20, plus regional trains RB 22 and RB 36. The meeting point sits right at the platform, so there is no walk from the station.
With this Pride, Königs Wusterhausen joins a growing number of small and mid-sized towns in Brandenburg that hold their own events away from the capital's big parade. For the region's queer community, the march offers both visibility and an invitation. An afternoon when diversity is celebrated in public, in a town that previously had no date of its own on the calendar.
