Gedenkstätte am Nordbahnhof

The Gedenkstätte am Nordbahnhof is a memorial at the former station in Stuttgart dedicated to deportations during World War II. The site preserves five original railway tracks and displays over 2500 names of Jewish residents and approximately 250 Sinti and Roma people on a 70-meter wall, documenting those transported to concentration camps from this location.

The Nordbahnhof was a central point for deportations from Stuttgart between 1941 and 1944. From this station, Jewish residents and Sinti and Roma people were transported to concentration camps in the east, including Riga, Theresienstadt, and Auschwitz.

The name refers to the station's location in northern Stuttgart. Walking through, visitors can see the original railway tracks and information panels that convey the reality of the place where thousands began their final journey.

The site is accessible year-round and located near Stuttgart's city center. Plan to spend adequate time reading the information panels and taking in the names on the wall.

The original railway tracks remain in their exact location, showing where people actually stood as they began their final journeys. These tangible remnants connect visitors directly to the history of the place.
