Guided Story
Imagine the city sounds fading away as you stand here. Look up at the monument, its simplicity holding a profound story. Over 80 years ago, this was a site of forced labor. Behind you, a bit further away, lies the Hinüberscher Garden. A place of tranquility, once unreachable for the prisoners.

This memorial isn't just about remembering; it's about hoping such horrors are never repeated.
