Route 2023
The route of the Pride Parade 2023 as PDF. On September 9, we start at 15:00 on the Hermannplatz in Berlin-Neukölln. We turn left into Kottbusser Damm and move 1000 m to Kottbusser Brücke. At the Kottbusser Brücke is our stop. Here there is a rally with speeches. Then we cross the bridge and move straight on Kottbusser Straße 300 m to the traffic circle at the subway station Kottbusser Tor. We turn right into the traffic circle and follow it counterclockwise for 180m. Finally, we leave the traffic circle to the right onto Skalitzer Straße against the direction of travel and follow it for 20 m until we reach the square in front of the Café Südblock at Admiralstraße 1-2. Here our stage for the final rally is set up.
The route is about 1.7 km long. The route leads over asphalt roads. At the end, there will be lowered curbs leading to a square with sidewalk slabs. The entire route is step-free and easy to roll on. It has a total of 13 m uphill and 9 m downhill.
Our hygiene concept
The parade will take place outdoors, where the likelihood of infecting each other with Corona or other diseases is lower than indoors. Nevertheless, there will be a particularly large number of people from at-risk groups at the parade. Therefore, and in general, if you have symptoms of an airborne infectious disease, please do not come to the parade.
If you want to make the parade safer, you can test yourself, wear a mask, or do both.
If someone you are around would like you to keep more distance or wear a mask, please do so!
However, please also remember that there are people who cannot wear a mask, for example, to be able to communicate.
It's important to you that others around you also wear mask and keep distances? Together you can form a block. We suggest the area behind the car for this. But this is just an offer: you may also use any other area.
You want a mask, but you don't have one? We'll give you an FFP2 mask. But please bring a mask yourself, if you can. Our stock is limited.

- Jumpers for all kinds of things, (14h-21h)
- People who distribute flyers or glitter (14h-20h)
