Governance board strongly condemns theft and destruction of the rainbow flag The rainbow flag is flying again on the University Square

“On the night of Saturday, 05.08.2023, the rainbow flag was stolen and destroyed on University Square and a flagpole was severely damaged.

We strongly condemn these crimes, which are currently increasing all over Germany. The rainbow flag is not only an appreciation of sexual diversity of all kinds, it is a symbol of tolerance, an open-minded attitude and inclusion towards all people; it symbolises the values of our university. We at TU Braunschweig will continue to vehemently stand up for respect, acceptance and for democratic values. Violence, aggression and deliberate damage of any form will not be accepted at TU Braunschweig.

Since this morning, the rainbow flag is flying again on the University Square.

Thank you to everyone who is standing up with us for the values of TU Braunschweig.”
