On November 9, 2024, the fall of the Berlin Wall marked its 35th anniversary. The anniversary celebrations were a technically and logistically impressive large-scale event that set new standards in terms of its dimension and complexity. Along the once-divided Berlin, several stages and installations were erected over a distance of more than four kilometers, connecting history and modernity. As five years ago, PRG provided a 360° service for this mammoth project.
Challenge: 5 stages, 1 unified experience
The highlight was the spectacular performance of the band Rockin'1000, whose members played simultaneously on five stages along the former Berlin Wall. PRG ensured that this musical homage to the historic moment was perfectly synchronized in sound, image, and light and impressively staged. The main stage at the Brandenburg Gate formed the central anchor point, supplemented by stages at other iconic locations such as Checkpoint Charlie, the Futurium, Potsdamer Platz, and the Reichstagufer. "The greatest challenge was to master the decentralization of the locations technically and to merge the different signals in real-time," explains Christoph Petratos, Head of Broadcast Project Management at PRG, in a video interview that offers insights behind the scenes of this mammoth project.
