Tips

Andrea Grauer

On 16.1.1945 all those seeking protection came through a bombing hit and life in this air raid bunker. Since the bunker was completely destroyed and filled in, a community grave was created here and a memorial with the names of the victims was built. This place is part of the "route against oblivion" that runs through Erkelenz.

The memorial is located on Anton-Raky-Allee in the city of Erkelenz.

It commemorates 13 victims of an air raid on January 16, 1945. The 13 citizens of Erkelenz had sought shelter in a bunker of horror. Since then it has been a common grave." The cross at the center of the memorial is 2.00 m high and 0.40 m wide and was designed and designed by Hatto HAAK. The facility was redesigned in 1989 by the local history association of the Erkelenzer Land
