Wir haben Gesichter, Cautionary monument in Viktoriapark, Berlin, Germany.
Wir haben Gesichter is a stele installation made of steel, glass, and canvas that stands within Viktoriapark and uses these materials to create a striking visual presence. The structure combines solid and translucent elements that engage viewers as they walk past.
The memorial was created in 2005 in response to a serious assault that took place at this location in March 2002. The installation emerged as a direct response to address what happened.
Visitors passing through the park encounter the work as part of their daily walk, making it impossible to ignore the message about safety and care in shared spaces. The memorial speaks directly to how communities witness and respond to harm.
The installation sits within Viktoriapark in the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district along the main pathways that visitors typically walk. It is easy to find when exploring the park at any time of day.
The text inscribed on the stele addresses viewers directly and challenges them to consider their role in preventing harm and building safety. This textual element transforms the installation from monument into a call directed at each person who encounters it.
