Memorial to Homosexuals Persecuted Under Nazism in Berlin, Holocaust memorial in Tiergarten, Berlin, Germany

A concrete cube measuring 3.6 meters in height contains a small window through which visitors view continuous video projections of same-sex couples.

The memorial, inaugurated in 2008, commemorates approximately 50,000 homosexual individuals prosecuted during the Third Reich between 1933 and 1945.

The structure mirrors elements from the adjacent Memorial to Murdered Jews, creating a connection between different groups persecuted during Nazi rule.

The memorial stands near Brandenburg Gate and remains open twenty-four hours daily, with informational plaques in German and English.

The video projection inside the memorial changes periodically, presenting different couples to represent the ongoing nature of the remembrance.
