Pride Lüneburg 2025: Never be quiet again!” - Colorful demo for diversity!

On July 4, 2025, Lüneburg will once again become a colorful stage of diversity and visibility: The Pride event under the motto “Never be quiet again!” invites all citizens to actively support the rights and visibility of queer people. The starting signal will be fired at 4:00 p.m. at Clamartpark, from where the demonstration will make its way to the Kurpark, where a varied stage program awaits participants from 5:30 p.m. [Lüneburg Aktuell](https://www.lueneburgaktuell.de/artikel/anders-sein-ist-gut–queere-gemeinschaft- Feiert/) reports on live music, speeches and numerous information stands that present the queer community and their concerns.

The organizing team particularly emphasizes the urgency of this event against the background of the increasingly hostile mood towards queer people. Anti-queer violence was recorded in Lüneburg last year, which underlines the importance of equality and a society based on solidarity. The jury for this demo has shown a good hand in its preparations: a sign language interpreter and a barrier-free bus from Irro Reisen ensure that people with disabilities can also take part.

A sign of solidarity

Pride in Lüneburg is more than just a festival; it is a strong sign against discrimination and for acceptance. The event is supported by the Federal Ministry for Education, Family, Seniors, Women and Youth as part of the “Live Democracy!” program. as well as the equal opportunities officer of the Hanseatic City of Lüneburg and wnm GmbH. This support strengthens the message that everyone can work for a diverse and respectful society.

The Pride campaign in Lüneburg also has numerous accompanying activities that are announced before the actual demo day. Those interested can find out about current developments and take part in the activities via Instagram (@pride.lueneburg). Pride Month, which is celebrated worldwide from June 1st to 30th, is also duly celebrated here. WNM highlights how important this visibility is for the queer community and its members.

Background of the Pride movement

Pride Month commemorates the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in New York, considered a turning point in the modern LGBTQIA+ movement. In Germany, where cities like Berlin, Cologne, Hamburg and Munich organize large Christopher Street Days (CSD) every year, the need for more space for queer people is growing. Despite legal progress, there is still a lot to be done: Last year, over 1,600 anti-queer crimes were registered in Germany. This shows that visibility and the fight for equality remain crucial to counteract discrimination. Queerlive explains that queer city festivals also function as protected spaces that invite society to join in the celebration.

The Pride on July 4th in Lüneburg is not just a happy celebration, but a militant symbol for a fair and inclusive society. Anyone who wants to support the queer community is warmly invited to become a part of this special event.
