Mariotti-Denkmal, Memorial monument at Brandbergweg and Nordstrasse intersection in Halle, Germany

The Mariotti Memorial consists of a stone marker with a metal plaque containing inscriptions in both German and French languages.

In March 1984, French military liaison officer Philippe Mariotti died at this location during a vehicle blockade by East German security forces.

The memorial represents a significant period in German-French relations and commemorates the tensions between Eastern and Western military forces.

The memorial stone location provides direct access for visitors to read the inscriptions and learn about the Cold War period events.

French military officials attended the memorial unveiling in 2004, marking twenty years since the incident that claimed Mariotti's life.
