Ebersberg is preparing for a colorful CSD 2025 despite hostility!

The Christopher Street Day (CSD) in Ebersberg, who celebrated its premiere in 2024 and attracted around 250 people, will go into the second round next year. According to merkur plans for This year an event under the motto "Stadt - Land - Queer", which is due to take place on July 19, 2025. The organizers, which are strongly supported by the Queeren Community, rely on openness and tolerance.

Despite the positive response that was heard on site, the past events give cause for concern. After the first CSD, the Facebook page was covered by negative comments with a shit storm, which was so bad that the comment function had to be blocked. Fantasies to violence and hate comments even led to the investigation by the Munich public prosecutor, which were later discontinued due to the unconcreteity of the statements. Under these circumstances, it almost seems like a miracle that the bright colors of the CSD should blow over the streets of Ebersberg in the coming year.

a festival of diversity and a sign against hate

While removals and demonstrations such as the CSD stand for diversity and acceptance, current developments show that there is still a risk of discrimination and hatred. Reports such as those of Tagesschau clarify that CSD events in other cities, such as Bautzen and Braunschweig, have to be carried out under increased security effort. There are hostility and even right -wing extremist interference actions that endanger trouble -free celebration. The police take precautions to protect the participants while insulting and assault.

at a time when the pressure on the queer community grows, it turns out to be all the more important that events like the CSD Ebersberg set an example and show that people do not want to be intimidated. The program for 2025 should be diverse: drag artists, bands and poetry slams are the order of the day, supplemented by a prominent demo train that pulls through the streets with sound. In retrospect for the nice conversations with older citizens in 2024, the event has the potential to build a bridge between generations.

A look at the larger CSD landscape

The organization team in Ebersberg strives for long -term support and plans to form into an association in the medium term in order to improve the structure and networking with similar events. So the CSD not only becomes a unique festival, but could develop into a permanent sign of diversity and acceptance in the region.
