United Buddy Bears Guest Appearance at BER

United Buddy Bears Guest Appearance at BER
Exhibition at Terminal 1 promoting international understanding

The "United Buddy Bears - THE MINIS" exhibition is currently on display at Berlin Brandenburg Airport. 100 colourful, cheerful Buddy Bears have found a new home for about two months on the arrivals level in the public area of Terminal 1.

The little bears symbolise freedom and international understanding: each bear represents a country around the globe and stands for the people and their culture, not political systems. Each figure was individually designed by an artist from the respective country. The one metre high bears stand - distributed over four areas - "Hand in hand" on small pedestals, symbolising the vision of a peaceful world.

Aletta von Massenbach, CEO of Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg GmbH: "Berlin Brandenburg Airport is an ideal location for the peace-loving Buddy Bears. Thousands of travellers the world over meet here every day. Diversity and cosmopolitanism is the order of the day at BER. We look forward to welcoming many visitors to the exhibition and wish our travellers lots of fun discovering the United Buddy Bears - THE MINIS."

Dr Klaus Herlitz, Managing Director of Buddy Bear Berlin: "It is a great pleasure for us to present the United Buddy Bears - THE MINIS at BER Airport. These little ambassadors of tolerance and peace remind us how important it is to come together across cultural borders and work together for a better world."

Since their first exhibition in Berlin in 2004, the Minis have been admired by thousands of enthusiastic visitors at more than 20 locations. Passengers at BER can purchase Buddy Bears as souvenirs in various sizes at The Wall Store Berlin in the Terminal 1 public area, the MuseumsShop and the myBerlin shop in the Terminal 1 security area.
