Pinneberg: New Nazi memorial at the train station-sign of peace and tolerance!

An impressive Nazi memorial is being built at the Pinneberger train station! The work is progressing with great swing, which should transform the place into a powerful place of commemoration. The heart: Magnificent stone blocks with the meaningful words "peace", "freedom" and "tolerance", which are concerned against forgetting and underline the message of humanity.

These impressive stone blocks weigh 650 kilos each! A seating circle from these massive blockstones is created for the existing Nazi War memorial, which has been a listed building since 2016. The changes are necessary to upgrade the existing memorial to the stylish memorial and to emphasize its importance for society. A glass panel is also installed as an exciting innovation that should offer additional information.

a bold step into the future

The renovation is part of larger measures that have been announced for completion in 2025. The opening of the memorial is planned immediately after the gathered renovation work at the train station, which means that the space is redesigned not only for travelers, but also for commemorative and educational purposes. Pinneberg thus sets a strong sign against forgetting and for the values that embody these stone blocks.

The expectations are high, because for the citizens and visitors this memorial will be an important place - a place that is supposed to stimulate thought and underlines the central importance of historical processing. These measures create a connection to the history that not only reminds you, but also strives for a future of peace and tolerance.
