history

In 1983, fifty years after the Nazis attacked the house of the General German Trade Union Federation (ADGB), the German Trade Union Federation (DGB), district of Hanover , had a boulder weighing several tons with an inscription plaque on it:

"1933 - 1983 / We remember and remind / in 1910 built here / - formerly Nikolaistraße 7, today Goseriede 4 - / Hanoverian unions / her union hall / This / was used by the Nazis on April 1, 1933 occupied . / The unions have been smashed . / Unionists persecuted , arrested , murdered ... "

After the redesign of the Goseriede square, the DGB district of Hanover inaugurated a new, modified memorial stone on August 13, 2014, this time with a raised inscription plaque that can be read in the direction of the old trade union building.
