Calendar Page: What Happened on June 14?

This "Kalenderblatt" for June 14, 2026, offers a daily retrospective of historical events, notable birthdays, and anniversaries. The day's historical entries span significant moments, including a massive anti-authoritarian demonstration in 2025 where over five million people protested against then-US President Donald Trump's conduct, while Trump himself hosted a military parade for the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary.

Further historical context includes the 1996 conviction of the department store extortionist known as "Dagobert," who received a nine-year sentence in Berlin. In 1981, Swiss citizens voted in favor of full gender equality, and 1971 saw the opening of the first "Hard Rock Cafe" in London. The Vatican also abolished the "Index librorum prohibitorum," the list of forbidden books for Catholics, in 1966.

The "Kalenderblatt" also commemorates birthdays and death anniversaries. Among those born on this day are British pop singer Boy George (65), former U.S. President Donald Trump (80), and the GDR's first Olympic boxing champion Wolfgang Behrendt (90). The day also marks the passing of German writer Hermann Kant (died 2016) and director Peter Schamoni (died 2011).
