Guided Story

Standing here, you're at a poignant memorial dedicated to the victims of National Socialism. Established in 1962, this memorial is located within Schloss Oberhausen in the Kaisergarten. The permanent exhibition, which opened in 2010, focuses on the city's history during the Nazi era. As you look around, consider how the events of that time shaped the people and places here. The memorial also engages in educational initiatives, offering programs for school groups. Since 2013, it has published a series of writings exploring these important topics.
