Hamburg memorials for the victims of National Socialism

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first Hamburg memorial for the victims of National Socialism: The memorial for the victims of National Socialist persecution at the Ohlsdorf cemetery

The Hamburg memorials for the victims of National Socialism include a large number of memorials , memorials , facilities, plaque programs and institutional facilities that commemorate the victims of National Socialism and the destruction of the war . In their entirety, they can be understood as the city's memory for the period from 1933 to 1945. More than 150 memorial sites have been created in Hamburg since the collapse of National Socialist rule . The first was inaugurated during a memorial event at the Ohlsdorf cemetery at the end of October and beginning of November 1945; it was the urn of the unknown concentration officer from the Auschwitz extermination camp . 15,000 people attended the funeral service. This first urn became part of the memorial for the victims of National Socialist persecution in 1949 , a stele with 105 vessels containing the ashes of victims and soil from 25 concentration camps.

development

The memorials are not just memories of the past, they also show the political conditions of the time in which they were inaugurated. Both the content and the handling of the memorial sites have changed radically over the decades. Over the years, in particular the changed relationship between politics and the public and the National Socialist past can be read from the memorials. Between 1945 and 1959 seven memorials were set up in Hamburg, six of them in cemeteries. The seventh, a plaque on the premises of Blohm & Voss for eleven murdered shipyard workers, was enforced by the works council . Six memorials were added by 1969 and another eight by 1979, and a total of 21 memorial sites have been created in a good thirty years.

Hamburg board program: memorial plaque at the Thalia Theater

A change in policy from the early 1980s led to the establishment of around 50 memorial sites by 1989, and another 40 or so memorial sites by 1999. Over 30 memorial sites were set up between 2000 and 2009, plus eight institutions that have been declared places of remembrance. As a result, around 130 memorial sites were inaugurated over the next thirty years, around 50 of which were memorial plaques.

Up until the end of the 1970s, the memorial placements were understood as depictions to exonerate the debt, the focus being on the constant visualization of the bombing of the city during the Second World War . Another aspect was the honoring of executed resistance fighters , whose stand against National Socialism benefited the self-image of the city. For many years the image of a "comparatively moderate Hamburg during the Nazi era" was maintained. But the memory of the victims of the resistance in particular got caught up in the political disputes of the emerging Cold War and the German-German division . The rehabilitation of the communists killed in Hamburg during the Nazi regime became a regular controversy, which is reflected in the relatively few memorial sites. One example is the plaque of honor for the 18 murdered citizenship deputies , most of whom were members of the KPD , and which was not mentioned by name in the Hamburg City Hall until 1981 .

Hamburg initiative

The victims 'associations , associations of during the Nazi persecution, committed citizens' groups as well as many historians demanded proof that all the dead of tyranny and war should be included in a general commemoration. It was not until the 1980s that the Hamburg Senate took up the vehement criticism and declared the city's previous handling of the past to be inadequate. With a speech by the then First Mayor Klaus von Dohnanyi in 1984, a new direction in monument policy was initiated under the title Hamburg Initiative . The call for an intensified examination of the city's Nazi past resulted in a commitment:

“It is time for the whole truth. No people can escape their history. And only those who face the past will stand in the future. "

- Klaus von Dohnanyi : It is not enough to remember - A Hamburg initiative

An initial implementation took place with the expansion of the so-called Hamburg board program of the scientific inventory department of the cultural authority. In addition to the blue information signs on listed buildings, sites of persecution and resistance between 1933 and 1945 should be marked with black memorial plaques . In addition, private and institutional initiatives were increasingly promoted, in particular public remembrance of individual groups of victims increased. The art in public space funding program also increasingly supported projects for the artistic design of memorials.

Neuengamme Concentration Camp Memorial

The handling of the site of the former Neuengamme concentration camp shows that this change in motion was nevertheless followed by a difficult path in the construction and establishment of memorial institutions . Immediately after the war it was used as an internment camp for former SS members until it was returned to the City of Hamburg in February 1948 by the Allies . The Vierlande correctional facility was then set up on the site and expanded in 1969 to include a further prison building.

Neuengamme Concentration Camp Memorial 2008

Survivors of Nazi imprisonment, on the other hand, founded the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Neuengamme (AGN) on June 6, 1948 , which set itself the goal of “erecting memorials, memorial plaques, memorials in the Neuengamme concentration camp”. In 1953 a memorial column was inaugurated on the edge of the site. After lengthy negotiations with the authorities, a memorial with a stele , a memorial wall with national plaques and a sculpture by the French sculptor Françoise Salmon The Dying Prisoner were inaugurated on November 7, 1965 on the site of the former camp nursery . The former camp site remained closed to the public.

In 1981 the so-called document house opened next to the site, a new building in which exhibitions could be shown. An international youth work camp put 1982 on a circuit around the grounds. In 1989 the Hamburg Senate decided to relocate the penal institutions, the implementation lasted until 2003. In 2005, after 60 years, a memorial was inaugurated on the former concentration camp site.

Spilled tracks

The memory of the expelled and murdered Jews was also limited to two memorial sites in the Ohlsdorf cemetery until the end of the 1970s. Around 1980, at the suggestion of the Institute for Jews in Hamburg , the Hamburg Monument Protection Office drew up a list of Jewish buildings and facilities that were still in existence. Initially 16 objects, former synagogues, cemeteries, schools and foundation buildings were recorded. From this list, the bronze plaque program developed by 1983 , with which places of Jewish life were marked.

Synagogue on Bornplatz, 1906
Synagogue Monument, 2007

On the basis of these measures, the new memorials were built up until the 1990s, usually based on locations that still exist. However, the desire for a culture of remembrance that goes beyond monument protection developed increasingly . In the political as well as in the artistic processes, there was increasing discussion of how no longer existing, destroyed, but nevertheless memorable places can be documented, visualized or also reconstructed. An exemplary process is the development of the monument to the synagogue on Bornplatz, which was damaged in 1938 and demolished in 1940 . The area is partly built over with a high bunker, the open spaces were used as a parking lot. It was not until 1980 that the way in which this place was dealt with was questioned and the factual and symbolic importance of Bornplatz for the history of Hamburg's Jews , and in particular for the memory of their expulsion and murder, was emphasized. A protracted discussion about the recovery of a “buried trace in the built city memory” finally led to the idea of ​​artistic design prevailing over interest in further development. In 1988 the synagogue monument by the artist Margrit Kahl , the tracing of the outer walls and dome of the synagogue with mosaic stone inlay, was inaugurated. At the same time, the square was named after Joseph Carlebach , the last chief rabbi of the German-Israelite community in Hamburg .

The depiction of remembrance in places that no longer existed, were destroyed, demolished and rebuilt again has in the following years in particular promoted the new perception of long suppressed and forgotten groups. With this in mind, memorials for euthanasia victims , memorials for the forced labor camps and satellite camps of the Neuengamme concentration camp distributed throughout the city, and references to the deportation of Roma and Sinti have been created. Remarks on the entanglements in Hamburg's businesses and institutions are expressed in memorial plaques. The Bertini Prize , which is awarded annually and has been awarded to young people since 1999, has played a large part in initiating individual projects. They “make the traces of past inhumanity visible in the present, but also point out current injustice in Hamburg and the world”.

New definition

But the definition of what a memorial site is has also changed. In the Guide to Places of Remembrance, which is regularly published on behalf of the Hamburg citizenship and the Senate , memorials are actually defined as places where historical events are referred to in an artistic form. In its latest edition, this term has been expanded to include explanatory exhibitions as memorials. Accordingly, the Jewish memorial book in the exhibition Jews in Hamburg of the Museum of Hamburg History and the School Museum were added to the list. This basic understanding is further developed by a so-called round table at which the cultural authority works out a more extensive concept in regular discussions with experts, researchers and committed people who are dedicated to Jewish history and the present. If up to now the places of Jewish life were strongly connected with the destruction of living conditions and the deportations of Hamburg's Jews, further attention is now directed to both the history and the present of Jewish culture.

With this in mind, the Institute for the History of German Jews (IGdJ) carried out and documented a study of the network of institutions, museums, monuments, locations and private initiatives that deal with Jewish history and life. The result is a list of thirty places of Jewish history and life in Hamburg , which are representative of many more. With the Morgenland Gallery, the Hamburg history workshops began working on the city ​​memory as a place of remembrance, or, as a further example, the Jewish Salon on the Grindel, founded in 2008, with efforts to promote cultural memories.

Stumbling block

The Stolpersteine project by the artist Gunter Demnig made an important contribution to this changed understanding of monuments . With more than 4,900 stones laid in Hamburg, it has not only found widespread use, but has also led to diverse research and biography work in Hamburg citizens. This private commitment has resulted in 20 district-related publications in the Stolpersteine series in Hamburg since 2008 , with the biographies of the people who were remembered with the Stolpersteine.

Lists of memorials

The following lists of memorial sites summarize the monuments, memorials, memorial plaques and stones, the works of art and installations as well as the exhibitions and educational institutions, which are included in the various Hamburg programs, according to district. It also receives some unlisted memorials as well as objects that have already been removed. The underlying programs are:

  • Sites of persecution and resistance from the Hamburg board program with 31 black boards;
  • Places of Jewish life from the Hamburg table program of bronze tables;
  • Guide to places of remembrance of the years 1933 to 1945. Published by the State Center for Political Education and the Neuengamme Concentration Camp Memorial on behalf of the Hamburg Citizenship and the Senate of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg , with 75 named memorials;
  • Places of Jewish history and life in Hamburg. published by the Institute for the History of German Jews (IGdJ) and the HafenCity University , with 30 entries. Not all of these places of remembrance of former Jewish life in Hamburg are also memorials to the victims of the Holocaust. The corresponding sites listed in this program are added as an overview in the section List of Other Places of Jewish History .
  • Art in public space. Funding program of the authority for culture, sport and media with which 13 of the memorials were supported. All of these sculptures are included in at least one of the aforementioned lists.

Preliminary remarks on the structure of the lists :

The listed memorials are separated according to the Hamburg districts - Hamburg-Mitte , Altona , Eimsbüttel , Hamburg-Nord , Wandsbek , Bergedorf and Harburg and sorted alphabetically according to city districts.

List of named people

The following table lists the people who are named and honored with the Hamburg memorials or on the memorial plaques. The names of the 20 murdered children from Bullenhuser Damm are listed in the relevant article.

The majority of those named here are Jews who were victims of the Holocaust and resistance fighters who died while in custody or as a result of execution. The White Rose Hamburg in particular is intended as a political circle , with a floor slab in the Audimax In Memoriam , the White Rose memorial in Volksdorf and the White Rose memorial plaque on Jungfernstieg. The Bästlein-Jacob-Abshagen group and the Bergedorf Socialist Workers' Party are each honored with a plaque. The Group column can be used to sort the affiliation of some of the people listed.

Few personalities who were memorialized had survived National Socialism, some only very briefly. Almost all of the named have a connection to the city of Hamburg. The only exceptions are the memorial for Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the Munich members of the White Roses.
