Glaskubus, Holocaust memorial monument in Planken district, Mannheim, Germany.

The Glaskubus consists of four vertical glass panels forming a three-meter cube, rotated 45 degrees toward the center of Paradeplatz.

The monument, established in 2003, displays 2,280 names of Jewish citizens from Mannheim who were victims of the National Socialist regime.

The names engraved on the interior glass panels appear in mirror writing when viewed from outside, creating a visual connection with the past.

The glass cube remains accessible throughout the day and illuminates at night, making it visible for visitors at any time.

The transparent structure stands in the middle of a pedestrian zone, integrating modern architectural design with historical documentation.
