The Berlin dragking collective König has received a special honor. The collective wins the Rosa Courage Prize 2026. This prize is highly prestigious and important in Germany.

The Rosa Courage Prize is awarded every year. It honors people and groups advocating for LGBTQ+ rights. Courage and engagement in the queer community are recognized through this award.

The collective König is active in Berlin. The group consists of dragkings. Dragkings are performers who embody male characters on stage. They use costumes, makeup, and performances to challenge gender roles.

Dragking culture is an important part of the queer art scene. It provides people a safe space. There they can freely express their identity. Simultaneously, this art creates visibility for LGBTQ+ issues in society.

The collective König uses its work to promote greater acceptance. The group demonstrates that gender is diverse and fluid. Through their performances, they reach many people in Berlin and beyond.

The Rosa Courage Prize has a long history. It commemorates the pink triangle. This symbol was used against homosexuals during Nazi rule. Today it stands for resistance and pride in the queer community.

The award to collective König sends a powerful message. It shows that dragking culture is socially recognized. It also honors all queer artists in Germany.

The prize ceremony takes place in 2026. Many people from the queer scene will attend. It will be an important moment for the LGBTQ+ community in Berlin and all Germany.
