Rosenstolz helped to create a new Germany, proud of its diversity, emphasized the former Germany boss of the music group Universal and former Berlin State Secretary for Culture, Tim Renner. “We have to be grateful, because Peter and you should have been invented for a Germany after the fall of the Berlin Wall if you hadn’t found yourself. A woman from the east, an open gay man from the West.”
