Erinnerungsort Olympia-Attentat

Erinnerungsort Olympia-Attentat is a memorial space in Olympic Park that documents the events of 1972 through visual and textual materials. An eleven-meter-wide video installation displays archival footage, photographs, and biographical information that allows visitors to understand the historical context and those affected by the tragedy.

The memorial was established in 2017 to honor twelve people who died during the 1972 Olympic Games. Its creation reflects Germany's commitment to remembering and publicly acknowledging this significant moment in the nation's history.

The space serves as a place where visitors can reflect on individual stories and personal histories. The presentation emphasizes the human dimension of the tragedy rather than treating it as a distant historical event.

The space can be visited during park hours and is easily accessible on foot from various points in the Olympic Park. The site includes barrier-free facilities to ensure visitors of all abilities can experience the memorial.

The design was created by Brückner & Brückner, who carefully balanced contemporary architecture with respect for the memorial's purpose. The layout guides visitors through the material in a deliberate way that allows for personal contemplation.
