Gedenkstätte für Revolutionäre Rote Matrosen
Gedenkstätte für Revolutionäre Rote Matrosen, Bronze memorial at Stadthafen, Rostock, Germany
The Gedenkstätte für Revolutionäre Rote Matrosen features a 20-meter relief wall and a 9-meter high bronze sculpture depicting two sailors in attack position.
The memorial, inaugurated in 1977, commemorates the sailors who participated in the November Revolution of 1918, which led to the fall of German monarchy.
The relief wall displays five scenes from the international labor movement, connecting the Kiel sailors' uprising to broader working-class resistance movements.
This architectural heritage monument in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern includes inscriptions of Karl Liebknecht's final words, published in Rote Fahne newspaper in January 1919.
The memorial complex originally contained an exhibition space and an eternal flame brought from Leningrad, though the assembly room beneath is now sealed.
