Memorial at the Frankfurt Grossmarkthalle, Memorial at Grossmarkthalle wholesale market hall, Frankfurt, Germany

The Memorial at the Frankfurt Grossmarkthalle, designed by KatzKaiser, preserves the cellar, ramp space, signal box, footbridge and tracks of the former market hall in their found state. A concrete path and a ramp structure link these fragments, connecting the public area along Philipp-Holzmann-Weg with the basement on the European Central Bank grounds. Quotations are inscribed on floors and walls.

From 1941 the Gestapo rented the eastern cellar of the Grossmarkthalle as a collection point for mass deportations, chosen for its central location on the harbour railway. Between October 1941 and September 1942, ten transports left the adjacent station for ghettos and camps; about 10,050 people were deported and only 179 are known to have survived. The memorial, designed by KatzKaiser, was opened on 22 November 2015.

The memorial's texts are quotations from murdered Frankfurt Jews, Holocaust survivors and bystanders, set into the ground and walls; statements by perpetrators were deliberately excluded. Their order follows the stages of a deportation, from the summons to the assembly point to the departure of the trains eastward. Some quotations survive in English, recalling survivors' exile or later emigration.

The publicly accessible section runs along the Philipp-Holzmann-Weg between Sonnemannstraße and the Mainufer. The part on the European Central Bank grounds, including the cellar, can only be visited on guided tours organised by the Jewish Museum Frankfurt.

The memorial's quotations deliberately exclude any statements by perpetrators. The designers chose only words of victims, survivors and observers, so that the bureaucratic language of the perpetrators would not mock the suffering of the more than 10,000 people deported. Some quotations survive in English, recalling survivors' exile or later emigration from post-war Germany.
