Music for climate protection: Large protest with concert wing in Leipzig!

Plagwitz, Deutschland - On June 13, 2025, a significant protest took place in Leipzig under the motto "Bach to Nature", which united music and climate protection. The event, which started at 3:00 p.m. on the millennium field in Plagwitz, attracted numerous participants and aimed to promote a social and environmental -political change.

A preliminary program started at 1:00 p.m. by the "Retting Salvation Field" initiative. It offered a festive atmosphere with music and speeches before the move with a 400 kg concert wing in the direction of the market square began at 3:00 p.m. Accompanying vehicles in the form of mobile trees, provided by the Leipzig traffic turn, accompanied the demonstration for the first time.

political support and creative actions

representatives from politics, including Volker Külow, Benjamin Schulz and Katharina Krefft, as well as parents' representatives of the Gießerstraße primary school, expressed their support for the concern to receive the millennium field as a green oasis in Plagwitz. During the event, the children of the primary school addressed the petition "It needs more plants on our marketplace" that still needs signatures.

The demonstrative move led along Karl-Heine-Straße to Käthe-Kollwitz-Straße and finally on the Elsterflutbecken to the Sachsenbrücke. On the way there were minor breaks because the tender, which was difficult to drive, slowed down the group. The music and the positive mood were very well received, both among the participants and the passers -by.

musical highlights and graduation ceremony

A highlight of the event was the performance of Sebastian Krumbiegel, who performed with several songs at the Sachsenbrücke. At 4:15 p.m., a dance performance was presented next to the climate strip. The move continued his way to the University of Music and Theater before finally reaching Leipzig marketplace at 6:15 p.m.

In the marketplace, around 2,000 people gathered for a musical and political ceremony. Mayor Burkhard Jung and Michael Maul, director of the Bach Festival, welcomed the participants. Musical contributions to the protest wing, making music together with the Bridges chamber orchestra and Leipzig choirs rounded off the program. A speech by the protest wing initiative ceremoniously completed the event.

The protest wing in Leipzig unique elements music and activism, and thus called on the urgent examination of the climate crisis. As part of an ongoing movement, the organizers hoped to further sensitize people to environmental issues and to initiate sustainable change.
