Montagsloch, Memorial site in Essen, Germany.
The Montagsloch memorial features a stone marker within the Grugapark grounds, marking the location of World War II executions.
On March 12, 1945, the Gestapo executed 35 Russian forced laborers at this location, which later became known as Montagsloch.
The memorial serves as an educational site where visitors learn about the experiences of forced laborers during the National Socialist period.
Located at Virchowstrasse 167 in Essen, the memorial is accessible through the Grugapark main entrance during regular park hours.
Local German citizens were compelled by American soldiers to excavate and properly bury the victims' remains in April 1945.
