Deserteurdenkmal, Memorial for deserters and other victims of Nazi military justice in Hamburg-Mitte, Germany

Deserteurdenkmal is a memorial for military refusers in Hamburg's Neustadt district. The structure features a triangular form with bronze lattices bearing inscriptions and a concrete wall facing Dammtordamm street.

The memorial honors 227 Wehrmacht soldiers executed in Hamburg during World War II for refusing to serve in the military. These victims represent part of the internal resistance against the Nazi regime.

The name references soldiers who resisted military service and paid with their lives for that choice. Visitors can select individual name blocks and connect with the real people whose stories are tied to this place.

The memorial stands on Dammtordamm between the 1936 war memorial by Richard Kuöhl and Alfred Hrdlicka's unfinished counter-monument, with the Stephansplatz memorial nearby. A U-Bahn tunnel runs beneath the site. The triangular structure is at ground level, its concrete wall facing Dammtordamm and its two bronze lattice sides open to view; name blocks are operated by push button from the side.

The two bronze lattice sides are formed from letters of a quotation by Helmut Heißenbüttel from "Deutschland 1944". The third side facing Dammtordamm is a closed concrete wall. Inside, buttons let visitors call up a deserter's name, execution date and place by audio.
