Guided Story

Can you hear the leaves rustling above? Here at Buchenwaldplatz, you can almost touch the silence, yet there’s so much history in the air. Turn around and look towards Carl-von-Ossietzky-Straße. The name is a reminder of the Buchenwald concentration camp, just a few kilometers away. In this square, it's like the past and present are intertwined, with whispers of stories in the breeze. In spring, when the trees are in full bloom, it's hard to believe this peaceful spot has witnessed so much. To your left is the Ernst Thälmann monument, standing as a silent witness to history while the world spins on. Maybe take a seat on one of the benches and let the magic of this place wash over you.
