Memorial at the Frankfurt Grossmarkthalle

The Memorial features inscribed quotations from victims and witnesses along a ramp structure connecting to the basement of the former market hall.

Between 1941 and 1945, the Gestapo utilized the cellar of Grossmarkthalle as an assembly point for deporting over 10,000 Jewish citizens to concentration camps.

The memorial combines architectural elements with survivor testimonies to document the experiences of Frankfurt's Jewish community during the deportations.

Visitors can access the public area along the railway embankment, while guided tours through the European Central Bank grounds require advance registration.

Of the 10,050 individuals deported from this location between October 1941 and September 1942, records indicate that only 179 people survived.
