Helpfulness
This is not an emergency exit, but rather an emergency entrance. The text, in four languages, reads: "We offer protection and information against violence and attacks by fascists and racists."
This is part of an initiative that was started in the summer of 1998 in Land Brandenburg, after a series of racist attacks against Africans and Vietnamese. The idea is to offer assistance to the victims of such attacks, and to encourage citizens to come out publicly against Neo-Nazi violence.
The program was begun by an organization called the djb, meaning Democratic Youth of Brandenburg, which was awarded the Aachen Peace Prize for this initiative in the year 2000.
This particular "Emergency Entrance" sign is at the entrance to the art museum Kloster Unser Lieben Frauen in Magdeburg, which of course is not in Brandenburg at all but is the capital of Sachsen-Anhalt.
Perhaps there are more such signs in Brandenburg, I don't know. Or perhaps the program has served its purpose and run its course. In any case this is the only "Emergency Entrance" sign I have seen up to now.
