Fenster des Himmels / Irrstern, Cautionary monument in Osterholz, Germany.

The memorial consists of two parts: a video installation in the main building foyer and a granite plate with steel elements in the clinic park.

Between 1938 and 1944, nearly 1,000 patients from Bremen Mental Hospital were transferred to other facilities, with over 700 individuals losing their lives.

The video installation displays portraits and intertwined hands of victims in an endless loop on two vertically positioned flat screens.

The memorial, located at Bremen-Ost Hospital grounds, remains accessible to visitors who wish to learn about the psychiatric victims of National Socialism.

The word Irrstern, engraved on the three-meter-wide granite plate, draws inspiration from poet Friedrich Hölderlin, who experienced mental health challenges.
