The memorial is an important step to commemorate the victims of the amocray. On December 1, 2020, an amok driver raced through the pedestrian zone with his off -road vehicle and left a trace of destruction. In addition to the five people who were killed immediately, another man who was seriously injured died in 2021, and another fatalities followed in February this year. The city of Trier has installed various commemorative plaque in the pedestrian zone since the third anniversary to remember the victims.

The amok driver, who was sentenced to a lifelong prison in a newly rolled -up process in a newly rolled -up process, has not yet been legally convicted. The Trier district court determined the special severity of his guilt and ordered its accommodation in a closed psychiatric clinic. A dark chapter in the history of the city, which is now remembered with a worthy memorial.
