Three-part sculpture (concrete and bronze) as a memorial for all civilian victims of the Nazi tyranny.
Erected on the initiative of the SPD council group.
The figure of a lying chained person is depicted on a concrete block, framed by two concrete walls, each three meters high. On the outside, these have bronze reliefs (mother with dead child/person behind barbed wire); the insides each have a bronze plaque.
Inscriptions: One plaque quotes the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights: "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights," as well as an excerpt from the German Basic Law: "Human dignity is inviolable." The other plaque reads: "In memory of all who have lost their lives in wars, and all who have fallen victim to terror and tyranny because of their convictions, beliefs or ancestry. Their memory is a warning and a commitment to brotherhood." The work of art symbolizes the martyrdom of the tortured people who are helplessly exposed to inhumanity and brutality. The chain rises from the ground on one side and symbolizes the growing violence. On the other side, the chain - a symbol of hope - has been torn down. The flanking concrete pillars represent a concentration camp.
