history

The memorial, erected in 1927 on the path of the March fallen, commemorates the victims of the March fighting from March 21 to 29, 1921 in Leuna. Workers at the BASF plant built their own tanks and used them to defend themselves against the military. The fighting lasted a week and ended in the defeat of the workers.
