Town hall meeting attended by Info-Steele
The small town of Worpswede, Germany, is set to inaugurate a memorial dedicated to the victims of the Nazi regime. The project, which is a collaborative effort between the municipality, various associations, and the town's citizens, is expected to cost approximately 18,000 euros.
While extensive online searches do not currently provide an anticipated inauguration date for the memorial, it has been reported that the memorial site is planned to be inaugurated on January 27, 2026. This date coincides with International Holocaust Remembrance Day, making it a poignant and fitting choice.
Donations for the memorial site are already being accepted and welcomed. The local history association Worpswede has set up a donation account, reference "Memorial", where contributions can be made. The IBAN for donations is DE85 2916 6568 0010 1389 03 at the Volksbank Worpswede.
Initial donation pledges amounting to 3,700 euros have already been received, demonstrating the town's commitment to this important project. Further donations are encouraged and will help ensure the memorial is a fitting tribute to the victims of the Nazi regime.
For any questions or inquiries about the project, interested parties can contact Burckhard Rehage at [email protected].
As the project progresses, official local or regional German cultural or memorial websites, local government announcements, or reputable news sources focused on German historical memorials might offer further details about the memorial's development and the exact inauguration date.
