Description

Places of Remembrance - Memorial in Berlin-Schoeneberg (1993)
by Renata Stih & Frieder Schnock

Places of Remembrance / Orte des Erinnerns is a decentralized memorial in the Bavarian Quarter in the Schoeneberg district of Berlin, which was inaugurated in 1993. 80 double-sided signs are put up on lampposts, depicting images on the one side and on the reverse side condensed versions of anti-Jewish Nazi rules and regulations passed between 1933 and 1945.

Together, the words and images force passers-by to remember the almost-forgotten history of this neighborhood, where Albert Einstein, Hannah Arendt, Gisele Freund and Carl Einstein once lived.

Dispersed throughout the area the memorial becomes a metaphor of the daily deprivation of rights and humiliation, leading to deportations and mass murder of Jews during the Nazi era.

Paradigmatic work of art in public space

With this decentralized set of signs and texts that document the Nazi’s creeping discrimination of Jewish contemporaries in the years before the holocaust, this work of art subtly but insistently reminds interested observers how the German fascists succeeded to make life impossible for the Jewish part of the German population.
