Demonstration: Sexualised violence knows no deadline. Ari remains in the public sphere!
7. October, 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM
After months of legal wrangling, the situation is now coming to a head: the Mitte district office has issued a demolition order for the Statue of Peace on 7 October. This is intended to silence a central place of remembrance against sexualised violence. We do not accept this!
The Peace Statue stands for the visibility and dignity of survivors of sexualised violence. Its removal would mean pushing the issue back out of the public sphere – and thus repeating exactly what Ari was created as a memorial to prevent.
That is why we are taking to the streets together on the day of the announced demolition:
📅 Tuesday, 7 October 2025
5 p.m.: Meeting point at the Statue of Peace (corner of Birkenstr./Bremer Str.)
5.30 p.m.: Start of the demonstration march along Wilhelmshavener Straße to Tiergarten Town Hall
6:00 p.m.: Closing rally at Tiergarten Town Hall
Come in large numbers, walk with us and make it clear: We will not allow Ari to disappear. The more of us there are, the stronger our signal!
Our message is clear:
Sexualised violence knows no time limit. Places of remembrance must not be demolished. Ari remains in the public space!
