Memorial to the victims of the Nazi tyrann, Memorial monument in Münchner Altstadt, Germany.
The Memorial to the Victims of Nazi Tyranny is a commemorative site in Munich's old town. It displays an eternal flame and informational panels that recount the suffering of those who lived under the dictatorship from 1933 to 1945.
The memorial was inaugurated in 1985 and designed by sculptor Andreas Sobeck. It was created to preserve the memory of those persecuted for their political beliefs and resistance.
The site invites visitors to pause and reflect on what happened during that dark period. Many people come here to honor those they lost or simply to remember collectively.
The memorial is located at the intersection of Brienner Strasse and Maximiliansplatz and remains open year-round. Informational panels in multiple languages make it easy for visitors to learn about the site independently.
The memorial includes a sanctuary lamp that burns continuously, symbolizing unending remembrance. This flame stays lit throughout the year as a constant reminder against tyranny and oppression.
