The first memorial stone was unveiled about a year after the crash, on 4.3.1967 by the Olympic Committee and the Italian swimming association near the crash site near the airfield. This original stele gives the names of a total of 9 Italian countrymen who died in an accident.

In 1991, this stele was moved a few hundred meters from its original location to its current location near Norderländer Straße.

On May 18, 2019, a second stele was unveiled at this memorial, with the name of all 46 victims of this accident.

A little information from the internet:

Lufthansa Flight 005 on January 28, 1966, was a scheduled Lufthansa flight from Frankfurt to Hamburg with a stopover in Bremen. During a go-around maneuver, the twin-engine propeller plane crashed from a low altitude onto a field belonging to the municipality of Stuhr shortly before 7 p.m., just off the runway at Bremen Airport.[1] All 42 passengers and four crew members were killed in the crash.
