Day of German Unity 2023

With the motto "Opening Horizons", this year's event will not only look back on 33 years of German reunification, but will also focus on perspectives for the present and on an outlook for the future - diversity, modernity and internationality are the themes of the citizens' festival. These keywords will be experienced with the help of a mixture of information, action and entertainment - for young and old.

Around the Binnenalster there will be many highlights in the program:.

From the North Sea and the Baltic Sea to the Alps - on Mönckebergstraße, each federal state will show what makes it unique. On Rathausmarkt, constitutional bodies and state organizations will provide information about the rule of law, democracy and their tasks. The hotspot for the world and environment of tomorrow will be on Gänsemarkt, where the "Young Future Lab" will highlight important future issues.

Various associations, institutions, initiatives and companies have also addressed the topics of internationality, sustainability and progress. A large part of the event area will therefore present these important topics in relation to Hamburg, Germany and the world.

Another highlight will be the Night of Unity on October 2^nd. With music and culture, it offers live entertainment for night owls. There will be something to discover, hear and see everywhere until midnight.
