Mahnmal für die Opfer des Nationalsozialismus in Koblenz, National Socialism memorial in Koblenz, Germany
The memorial in Koblenz comprises two red sandstone blocks and four rusted steel structures with engraved inscriptions. The carvings commemorate the persecuted and list fundamental human rights.
The memorial was inaugurated in 2001 as a tribute to those persecuted and killed between 1933 and 1945. Its creation reflected a later commitment to acknowledging this period of violence.
The monument serves as a gathering place where visitors come to reflect on persecution and murder during a dark historical period. Annual remembrance events bring people together to honor those who were victimized.
The memorial stands at Reichensperger Square opposite the former Upper Presidency building in the Old Town. It can be easily reached on foot from various nearby routes through the city center.
A citizen association maintains detailed records about individuals from the region connected to this period. This groundwork allows visitors to discover personal stories behind the names inscribed at the site.
