The Kurt Eisner Memorial is a floor slab in memory of the murder of the first Bavarian Prime Minister Kurt Eisner on February 21, 1919 in Munich .

It was designed by Erika Maria Lankes and inaugurated in 1989 on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of his death on Kardinal-Faulhaber-Strasse opposite house no. 14 in front of Palais Montgelas . There, Lieutenant Anton Graf von Arco auf Valley Eisner, who had just come from the Foreign Ministry, shot two shots in the back and head from close range.

The memorial shows Eisner's outlines on a steel plate, as they are marked with chalk by the police when a dead person is found. Above the inscription:
