A blue flag with a single yellow star on it. Christian Schnurer designed this in 2019 on the occasion of the German-Ukrainian literature meeting “A Paper Bridge”. Out of respect for the Ukrainian developments, which correspond to European ideas, the flag “single star” hoisted in Munich and Mariupol on the Azov Sea. On Sunday, March 20th at 11 a.m., the flag is supposed to be flying again in Munich over the creative district. Schnurer hopes that the flag will be “understood as a sign of an indivisible unity.”

The entire entrance fee goes to the organization Humedica, which sends emergency teams and aid transports to the border areas.

The relief organization arranges partnerships with Ukrainian children, collects stockings, scarves and gloves for refugees and imports relief supplies to Ukraine.
