Mahnmal Obernheide, Heritage monument in Stuhr, Germany.

The Mahnmal Obernheide stands on the grounds of the former Obernheide subcamp in Stuhr. The 31 × 34 m site, laid out in 1988 to plans by sculptor Wittmute Malik of Braunschweig, centres on a walkable stone sculpture of 60 hewn, pierced basalt-grey stones set in eight rows, with five column oaks arranged in an L shape like a warning hand, plus a memorial plaque.

The Obernheide communal camp existed from 1941, fenced in for prisoners of war and forced labourers. From September 1944 to April 1945 it served as a subcamp of Neuengamme concentration camp, holding 500 Hungarian and 300 Polish Jewish women who cleared rubble in Bremen and worked in a concrete-block factory; at least ten died. In April 1945 the SS cleared the camp and deported the inmates to Bergen-Belsen. The site was destroyed after the war and forgotten until the 1980s; after fourteen former prisoners visited in April 1985 and a Huchting school set up a wooden plaque, Stuhr decided in 1986 to build a memorial, realised by August 1988 to plans by sculptor Wittmute Malik. It is not under heritage protection.

The memorial is a walkable stone sculpture of 60 hewn, pierced basalt-grey stones set in eight rows, with five column oaks arranged in an L like a warning hand. A memorial walk to the site is held each year on Buß- und Bettag, the Protestant day of repentance.

The memorial is easily accessible on foot from the town center, with level ground and no major obstacles around the site. It is best visited during daylight hours when you can clearly see the details of the structure and read any informational markers.

The memorial does not have heritage protection status, contrary to what is often assumed. It was built by the municipality of Stuhr following a design competition, to plans by sculptor Wittmute Malik of Braunschweig, and was completed in August 1988. The site covers 31 by 34 metres.
