Criticism of racism

In Cologne, politicians and administrators have been working together for years to ensure that people of different origins, languages, religions, cultures and sexual orientations can live together in harmony and solidarity, so that Cologne remains a cosmopolitan, diverse, multicultural, vibrant and happy city. Democracy, freedom and the rule of law - these common values must be preserved and strengthened. Effective prevention, the reduction of racism and the promotion of anti-discrimination work are important goals of Cologne's policy and the subject of various concrete municipal measures.
