BMI

The tasks of the Federal Ministry of the Interior, Building and Home Affairs (BMI) are as varied as they are responsible. The spectrum ranges from the role of guardian of the constitution and promoter of social cohesion to integration, federal sports promotion, information technology and security tasks. As the "Constitutional and Municipal Ministry", the Federal Ministry of the Interior is responsible for modernising the state and administration. But it also deals with key issues of our state and federal order, such as the right to vote.

BMBF

Federal Ministry of Education and Research: It is the largest Arctic expedition of all time: The German research icebreaker Polarstern is currently drifting frozen through the Arctic Ocean. On the MOSAiC expedition, scientists from 19 nations are exploring the Arctic. The aim of the expedition is to better understand the influence of the Arctic on the global climate. The expedition will thus be a milestone for climate research. The data will be of great value for generations to come. Hence our motto: "Let's go to the Arctic - stop climate change".

BMF

The festival contribution of the Federal Ministry of Finance tells the stories of his office building, which are closely connected with the history of the Berlin Wall: the foundation of the GDR in 1949, the people's uprising of 1953, the great Ulbricht lie of 1961 and the Holzapfel flight of 1965. All these events remind us that freedom cannot be taken for granted and that we have to defend it every day anew. This is the message of a spectacular interactive festival action by the Ministry, in which everyone can take part: Let us tear down the Berlin Wall together once more!

BMG

The German health care system is in very good condition. Everyone who needs medical or nursing help gets it and we all enjoy comprehensive health insurance coverage. Nevertheless, there are areas, such as nursing care, in which we need to further develop our healthcare system in a future-oriented way. This is one of the tasks of the Federal Ministry of Health.

BMJV

The Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection (BMJV) is first and foremost a legislative ministry which also advises the other federal ministries on the preparation of their legislative projects. It drafts laws and ordinances under its leadership, i.e. essentially for civil law, commercial and business law, criminal law, procedural law and consumer protection.

BMZ

The Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development is committed to combating poverty, promoting peace, freedom, democracy and human rights, and preserving the environment and natural resources. The current focus is on close cooperation with Africa. This year's projection motifs illustrate the goal of shaping globalisation fairly - for Germany, for Europe and worldwide.

BMWi

Strengthening medium-sized businesses and industry, boosting investment, shaping digitalisation, promoting innovative start-ups and leading the energy system transformation to success: The Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi) has a variety of tasks. Located at Berlin's Invalidenpark with a fountain, it can take up the festival motto "Lights of Freedom": The facility is intended to commemorate the "disappearance" of the Berlin Wall. Freedom, the free movement of goods, people and services, and freedom for innovation also determine the everyday life of the BMWi. Let the installations surprise you!

BMEL

The Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture stands for healthy and safe food, a strong agricultural sector and good prospects for our rural areas. As the “ministry of life”, our main aim is to conserve the natural foundations of life through sustainable agricultural production, promote animal welfare and provide clear consumer information on a large range of everyday issues, because our work focuses on valuing citizens, farmers, foresters, nature and animals.

BMVI

The integrated overall research programme of the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure comprises various individual programmes and larger innovative individual projects. The BMVI's departmental research covers all areas of mobility and transport. In order to secure sustainable energy supplies, the BMVI is also heavily involved in the "National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology Innovation Programme".

BPA

Two of the light projections used to illuminate the Federal Press Office are about freedom of the press - directly on the River Spree, at Friedrichstrasse station. Freedom of the press, threatened in many places worldwide, is a cornerstone of democracy and protected in Germany by Article 5 of the Basic Law and Article 11 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.

Federal Foreign Office

The Federal Foreign Office, with its offices in Berlin and Bonn and its network of around 230 missions abroad, cultivates Germany's relations with other states and with intergovernmental and supranational organisations. This is not just a matter of political contacts between governments and parliaments. Germany and its society are increasingly networked internationally. The Federal Foreign Office therefore promotes an intensive exchange with the world in business, culture, science and technology, the environment, development issues and many other areas.

European Commission

The European Commission is the executive arm of the European Union and represents its general interest. The Commission is chaired by a group of 28 Commissioners known as "the College".

European Parliament

The European Parliament is an important forum for political debate and decision-making at EU level. Members of the European Parliament are directly elected by voters in all Member States. Parliament thus represents people's interests with regard to EU legislation and ensures that the functioning of the other EU institutions follows democratic principles.

Europa Experience

In the immediate vicinity of the Brandenburg Gate is the European House with its permanent multimedia exhibition Europa Experience. It is also the home of the European Parliament Liaison Office and the Representation of the European Commission. Both institutions would like to draw attention to the importance of Europe with common projection motifs. In the free permanent multimedia exhibition Europa Experience, festival visitors can visit the 360° cinema every evening and take a journey through history, politics and life in the European Union.

Humboldtforum

Follow in the footsteps of the brothers Alexander and Wilhelm von Humboldt! The video animation on the modern east façade of Alexander von Humboldt's 250th birthday takes you on a journey through his life and work and illuminates his central statement "All is Interaction". And inspired by Wilhelm von Humboldt, the universe of language opens up on the west façade: In his view, this is the essential key to the experience and order of the world.

Ever since it was founded in 1818, Berliner Sparkasse has fulfilled its public mandate.

RBB

On 1 May 2003, Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg, a new ARD public service broadcaster for two federal states, was launched.

The former seat of the ministry is now a place of remembrance of dictatorship and resistance, a place of learning for democracy. A large part of the GDR secret police tradition is stored here.
