Along a paved path, you'll discover a circular area bordered by a tall brick wall, featuring three bronze plaques. These plaques convey the horror and suffering experienced here between 1933 and 1934. It's a place to pause and reflect on the past.

Guided Story
Take a moment to feel the weight of history here. Those bronze plaques on the brick wall tell stories of unimaginable suffering. But did you know this used to be a factory? The building itself holds layers of history. As you look around, notice the river behind you. The Wupper flows silently, almost as if it's a witness carrying secrets of the past. Pause for a moment, let the quiet seep in, and imagine the stories that once echoed in this place.
