Guided Story

In front of you is the granite memorial, created by Max Rose in 1997. It honors Otto Suhr, who served as the Chairman of the City Council and Governing Mayor of Berlin from 1946 to 1957. Suhr was a significant figure in post-war Berlin, dedicating himself to the city's recovery. To your west, just five meters away, is the Möwenbrunnen, a charming fountain. Behind you to the northwest lies Waldeckpark, a peaceful spot for reflection. And if you look southeast, you'll find St. Jacobi Church at about 131 meters away. This memorial stands as a silent witness to history, commemorating Suhr's contributions to Berlin.
