Denkzeichen Georg Elser, Monument and steel sculpture in Berlin-Mitte, Germany.
The Georg Elser memorial consists of a 17-meter-high steel structure displaying the silhouette of a face, illuminated from both sides at night.
German resistance fighter Georg Elser attempted to assassinate Adolf Hitler in 1939 by placing explosives in the Bürgerbräukeller beer hall in Munich.
The memorial provides a space for reflection on individual resistance against political oppression through its minimalist design and informative ground panels.
Located at Wilhelmstrasse near An der Kolonnade, the monument includes LED lighting and text strips embedded in the pavement containing Elser's statements.
The steel structure stands near the former Reich Chancellery, transforming a location of former Nazi power into a memorial for resistance.
