German originalEnglish translation

Zu der für Juli 2026 vor dem #Völkerschlachtdenkmal angekündigten Konzertveranstaltung von Till Lindemann stellen wir als Stiftung Völkerschlachtdenkmal in aller Form fest: Diese Darbietung wurde ohne jede organisatorische oder finanzielle Beteiligung der Stiftung angesetzt und sie wird von uns weder unterstützt noch verantwortet. Eingedenk des hunderttausendfachen Leides der Völkerschlacht von 1813 sowie der massiven Instrumentalisierung des Denkmals in den Kriegen und Diktaturen des 20. Jahrhunderts distanzieren wir uns zudem entschieden von jeder Form der Gewaltverherrlichung, Diskriminierung und Frauenfeindlichkeit.

Regarding the concert event by Till Lindemann announced for July 2026 in front of the Monument to the Battle of the Nations, the Völkerschlachtdenkmal Foundation hereby states the following: This event has been scheduled without any organizational or financial involvement of the Foundation, and it is neither supported nor endorsed by us. In view of the immense suffering caused by the Battle of the Nations in 1813, as well as the extensive instrumentalization of the monument during the wars and dictatorships of the 20th century, we expressly distance ourselves from any form of glorification of violence, discrimination, or misogyny.
