Memorial Neuer Börneplatz

Memorial Neuer Börneplatz, Holocaust memorial at Neuer Börneplatz, Frankfurt, Germany

Memorial Neuer Börneplatz is a Holocaust memorial in Frankfurt that honors those persecuted during the Nazi era. The site features a central stone structure and displays the names of those who were deported.

The memorial was inaugurated on 16 June 1996, after the city decided in the 1980s to build a municipal customer centre on the Börneplatz; the design is by Wandel Lorch Architekten. The square was long known as Judenmarkt and was renamed Börneplatz in 1885 for Ludwig Börne; the Nazis renamed it Dominikanerplatz in 1935, and it became Börneplatz again in 1978. The Börneplatz Synagogue, built in 1882, was destroyed in the November pogrom of 1938.

The frieze on the cemetery wall consists of 11,908 metal name blocks, each giving a victim's name, birth date, date of death if known, and place of death. Visitors place small stones on the blocks in the Jewish mourning rite. The names and further biographies are searchable in the memorial database at the Museum Judengasse.

The site is freely accessible and located in central Frankfurt between two main streets. Visitors can explore the memorial at any time to remember those commemorated here.

The memorial incorporates historic street signs showing different names the area held throughout time and reflecting its changing past. These signs tell the story of how the location evolved through distinct historical periods.
