Deserteurdenkmal, Memorial for military deserters in Neustadt, Hamburg, Germany
The Deserteurdenkmal features a triangular structure with bronze lattices displaying inscriptions and a concrete wall facing Dammtordamm street.
The memorial honors 227 Wehrmacht soldiers executed in Hamburg during World War II for refusing to participate in military service.
Inside the structure, visitors can select name blocks to hear audio recordings detailing the names, execution dates, and locations of individual deserters.
The monument stands between the Infantry Regiment 76 memorial and an unfinished counter-monument, accessible from Stephansplatz station.
The ground-level structure incorporates text from Helmut Heißenbüttel's poem 'Deutschland 44' on its bronze lattice walls.
