Berlin Techno Parade 'Zug der Liebe' Canceled After Christopher Street Day Attack
The Berlin techno parade 'Zug der Liebe,' scheduled for August 29, has been canceled by its organizers due to a drastically changed security situation following a terrorist attack on the sidelines of Christopher Street Day (CSD) in Berlin. The attack, which occurred late Saturday evening near the Tiergarten, left one woman dead and 31 people injured, some seriously. The Islamist-motivated attacker was shot dead by police the next day. Organizers stated that new requirements—including immobilizers, personal checks, and heavily armed police—contradict the event's spirit of a carefree, fear-free protest space. While logistical issues with trucks and volume restrictions also played a role, the main reason was the 'noticeable change in the social climate.' Last year, the parade attracted around 10,000 participants. In contrast, the techno parade 'Rave the Planet,' planned for August 15, will proceed as scheduled, according to its founder Dr. Motte.
