Offener Brief

The bbk berlin informs:

July 11, 2023 | The bbk berlin supports the action alliance’s "No Rammstein in Berlin!“

Open letter: Dear representatives of the Olympiastadion Berlin, Dear representatives of the cultural and political landscape in Berlin, as activists, journalists and representatives of the cultural industry in Berlin, we demand with this open letter a ban of the Rammstein concerts in the Olympiastadion on July 15, 16 and 17, 2023. We stand in solidarity with the protests of the alliance "No Rammstein in Berlin". Our demands are:

  • A ban on Rammstein concerts in Berlin
  • both in July 2023 and upcoming concerts
  • A meticulous legal, as well as cultural-political reappraisal of the cases
  • The compensation of those affected.

However, this can and should only be the beginning of a comprehensive reform of Berlin's music and club landscape. Sexual harassment and violence at concerts and in clubs is still everyday life for many FLINTA*, women and queer people. Therefore, we also demand the financial support of awareness teams at concerts and parties, a comprehensive sensitization of the staff as well as criminal consequences for spiking incidents.

Berlin's justifiably world-famous nightlife must be a space where all people can feel safe - regardless of gender, appearance, racist attributions and sexuality.

For this we need your support!
