Dr. Motte revives Loveparade as Rave The Planet techno parade in Berlin
Founder Dr. Motte (Matthias Roeingh) and his partner Ellen Dosch‑Roeingh have launched a revived techno parade called “Rave The Planet” in Berlin. The event, held on the Straße des 17. Juni near the Brandenburg Gate, attracted thousands of participants even in rainy weather. An ARD documentary titled “Love is stronger. From Loveparade to Rave The Planet”, directed by Britta Mischer, will stream from 31 July. In the film Dr. Motte says, “I would like to tell the story of the Loveparade again… to set a sign after the Duisburg tragedy and bring the spirit of the Loveparade back to Berlin.” The documentary shows internal discussions, organisational hurdles and personal decisions involved in restarting the parade. It also explores whether the revived event is a cultural demonstration or merely a techno party. The original Loveparade began in 1989, grew to a massive international gathering, faced commercial pressures, and ended in 2010. The new parade is presented as a hopeful cultural revival linked to the nonprofit Rave The Planet.
