35th anniversary of the Breitenau memorial site

On Sunday, September 22, a celebration of the 35th anniversary of the Breitenau Memorial will take place on the grounds of the former Breitenau Monastery Church. At the celebration - in addition to a retrospective - questions of the present and future significance of the memorial work will be addressed.

After a worrying increase of right-wing extremist tendencies up to the murder of district president Dr. Walter Lübcke, the association faces new challenges for the memorial work. At the same time, this work must also be further developed and consolidated. In this context, important changes are currently taking place at the Breitenau Memorial. Among other things, the memorial is being expanded to include the lower floor, which will open up new and diverse possibilities for the work.

An official part of about one and a half hours is planned for the celebration. Afterwards, all guests will be invited for mutual exchange and conversation over drinks and a snack. Interested visitors will also have the opportunity to take part in guided tours and learn about the history of Breitenau and the development of the memorial.
