Cologne celebrates variety: large demo for queer rights on CSD 2025!
On Sunday, July 6, 2025, the Cologne city center again becomes the scene of the largest CSD demo in Germany and Europe. Under the motto "For queer rights - many. Together. Strong!" Around 60,000 people gather to set a strong sign of visibility, human rights and acceptance of the queer community. An important concern, especially in view of the increasing hostility to queer in Germany, which many worried. After all, the organizers expect over a million visitors overall, who will join the hustle and bustle. This impressive number could set a new record for the event.
Already at 11:30 a.m. it starts on the Deutzer Bridge, which is traditionally decorated with colorful balloons. The demoparade takes its way across various stations and moves through the Schildergasse, the Neumarkt, past Rudolfplatz and the rings to the Komödienstraße on Cologne Cathedral. In order to give visitors smoothly to the demo, road closures are partly into force from the previous day. It is recommended to use the public transport of Cologne's traffic companies, the bicycle or footpath to the city center.
diverse participation and support
such as colognepride.de, the preparation for such a big event requires a lot of commitment. In addition to professional companies that are commissioned for large tasks such as assembly and dismantling, numerous volunteers are also available to do minor work. This includes hanging fence banners, the establishment of the production office and setting up umbrellas for shadows.
In order for the parade to be a complete success, all of these measures are of great importance. The joy and cohesion, which are noticeable during such events, many reminds of last year's CSD on July 14, 2023, which achieved record -breaking figures with over a million visitors and 200 groups. At that time, participants and spectators enjoyed the great summer weather, which could also be presented in 2025.
The CSD demo in Cologne is not only a celebration, but also an important step to promote acceptance in society. The message that comes from Cologne is clear: strong together, together for the rights of everyone! As such, this day marks a highlight a year for the city and its residents.
More information about the event and the الأ events around the Cologne Pride is available on the official website of radiokoeln.de and 24rhein.de.
