 Marchers included a local Lutheran pastor's daughter, Christine Lieberknecht who more recently, in 2009, became the regional prime minister in Thuringia.The pastors from the Church of the Good Shepherd in Weimar and from nearby welcomed the peace pilgrims and the banners which they carried, which here carried mainly messages with a particularly local resonance, calling for a corridor through central Europe free of chemical and nuclear weapons; something that Olof Palme and Erich Honecker had reportedly proposed.This march was organised by the Thuringia branch of the Christian Peace Conference (CFK).
