Summary
About 300,000 people joined Hamburg's annual Pride parade on Saturday, with police and organizers reporting one of Germany's biggest turnouts a week after the Berlin attack.
Security was stepped up after authorities classified the Berlin car-ramming as an Islamist terrorist attack that killed a woman and injured 31 others.
A Berlin Pride truck joined the Hamburg march, with participants asked to wear dark clothing in tribute to last week's victims.
Pride events also went ahead in Bonn and other German cities, underscoring a broader show of solidarity despite heightened fears in the queer community.
