Trauerhaltestelle at Friedhof Ohlsdorf

The Mourning Stop features two concrete structures creating a protected space with wooden seating areas and surfaces for leaving messages with chalk.

The architectural project emerged from a 2012 competition where Mareile Höring and Solveig Trzebiatowski received recognition for their innovative memorial concept.

Within this memorial space, visitors express their grief through written messages on walls, placing flowers, or personal items in a self-directed manner.

Located centrally along Middle Avenue near Moorkamp Canal, the structure remains accessible to individuals and small groups without prior arrangements.

The structure incorporates a serviceberry tree growing through an open corner, connecting the concrete elements with natural elements of the cemetery grounds.
