Frankfurter Engel, Holocaust memorial statue in central Frankfurt, Germany.
The bronze angel sculpture stands at the corner of Schäfergasse and Alte Gasse, serving as a memorial for persecuted LGBTQ+ individuals.
Created in 1994 by artist Rosemarie Trockel, this memorial represents the first German monument dedicated to homosexual victims of Nazi persecution.
The inscription at the base acknowledges the persecution of homosexual men and women during the Nazi regime and warns against future discrimination.
