Germany Pride march draws hundreds of thousands in Germany week after attack

Police and organizers said 300,000 people joined the march as Hamburg increased security after the Berlin attack.

  • About 300,000 people gathered in Hamburg on Saturday, August 1, 2026, for the city's annual Pride parade, demonstrating LGBTQ community support just one week after a deadly attack in Berlin.
  • The march followed last week's "Islamist terrorist attack" on a Berlin Pride march, where 21-year-old Abdul Rahman Ballout rammed a vehicle into the crowd, killing a 65-year-old woman and injuring 31 people.
  • Hamburg police doubled officer deployments compared to last year to protect attendees. Deputy Mayor Katharina Fegebank told RTL television that "after the brutal attack on the CSD in Berlin, many are unsure in the queer community whether here and today is the right place."
  • Friday also brought severe weather to Germany, as a storm in the Saxon Switzerland region killed one person, while 330 emergency personnel battled an out-of-control forest fire in Bavaria.
  • Holiday traffic faces disruptions as Austria's Fern Pass, which reaches 1,212 meters in elevation, is closed for two hours on Saturday due to a planned demonstration blocking the key transit route.
