CSD Bremen 2025 Breaks Records, Sparking Subsidy Debate
The Christopher Street Day (CSD) in Bremen attracted a record 29,000 participants this year, with the Senate classifying it as a cultural event. However, the Alliance for Germany faction has questioned the funding and subsidies for such events.
The CSD, a demonstration for acceptance and diversity, received 12,000 euros in public funds in 2024. This year, despite the record attendance, the subsidy remained the same, amounting to approximately 42 cents per participant. The organizers expressed gratitude to the participants for their support.

The increase in attendance from 2023 to 2025 was notable, with a nearly 82 percent rise in participants, though the exact subsidy amount for 2023 was not found.
