Volksbühne Berlin, a theater that received 300,000 euros in public funds, has set up a temporary swimming pool, the 'Volksbad', which is free and open to all. However, on Friday, August 14, from 12:00 to 18:00, the pool will be exclusively open for black communities. This decision has sparked controversy and criticism, with some calling it 'anti-white racism' and 'identity political nonsense'. The theater's intendant, Matthias Lilienthal, has defended the decision as an effort to empower black communities.
