Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, Holocaust memorial in Mitte, Germany.
The memorial consists of 2,711 concrete blocks arranged in a grid pattern across 19,000 square meters near Brandenburg Gate in central Berlin.
Following German parliament approval in 1999, architect Peter Eisenman designed this memorial, which opened on May 10, 2005, marking 60 years after World War II.
The underground information center presents personal stories through photographs, diaries, and biographical details of Holocaust victims across multiple themed exhibition rooms.
The exterior memorial area remains accessible 24 hours daily, while the information center operates Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
Each concrete stele varies in height from 20 centimeters to 4.7 meters, creating different perspectives and spatial experiences throughout the memorial field.
