Guided Story

Imagine holding a column in your hands. That's exactly what thousands have done right here. Look at the column rising from the ground. It's a living monument, shaped over the years by people who have inscribed their names. Artist Jochen Gerz designed this interaction to emphasize our collective responsibility against forgetting. Behind you, the Trinity Church stands tall, while the vibrant life of Harburg's Town Hall hums nearby. Take a moment to feel the connection between past and present.
