Guided Story
Imagine standing in a place where history whispers its solemn tale. Can you hear the gentle flow of the Inn behind you? Right here, where the promenade buzzes with life, stands the Memorial for the Victims of National Socialism. Look to your left, towards the Marienbrücke stretching over the river. This bridge symbolizes connection, while the memorial reminds us of a time when such connections were tragically severed. Wolfgang Kirchmayer's art invites you to pause and honor the stories of those lost in history's shadows. As you glance north, the majestic St. Stephen's Cathedral might offer a moment of solace and hope.
