German ‘Poly Wedding’ of Four Men Drives Debate
Pastor Lena Müller blessed a polyamorous union of four men at a Berlin pop-up wedding festival, highlighting legal and social debates on polygamy and marriage equality.
- At a summer pop-up wedding festival in Kreuzberg, Berlin, Lena Müller, 33, youth pastor of the Evangelical Church of Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia, blessed four men as one family.
- On November 7, Christian Stöblein, Bishop of Berlin of the Protestant Church, said the ceremony was not an official marriage due to legal limits, including the church register requirement.
- The four attendees included two Latvians, a Thai citizen and one reportedly Spanish, and Müller, a feminist and queer-inclusive minister, said they showed much love and chose the verse Love never ends.
- The Protestant Church of Berlin-Brandenburg publicly defended Müller and condemned online hostility, saying members were shocked by hatred and prepared legal action against abusers online.
- The episode has reopened questions about equality and legal recognition, reigniting debate over same-sex and polyamorous rights in German society and contrasting views on immigrant communities.
