Gedenkstätte „Garten der Erinnerung“ in Frauenkirchen

At the former location of the Jewish synagogue, which had been demolished by the National Socialists in 1939, the memorial association "Initiative Erinnern Frauenkirchen" established a memorial site named "Garten der Erinnerung" in 2016. The memorial park is enclosed on three sides by walls, creating an inner courtyard that represents a temple and also includes its basic elements in abstract form. The outer "shelter wall" stylistically sketches the former temple front. Inside, there is a bronze Torah scroll in memory of the Jewish community, an excavation site with fragments of the former baroque synagogue and broken columns that refer to the destruction of the temple, as well as plaques with the names of the expelled Jewish families. They metaphorically refer to a Torah shrine. A digital information system enables visitors to learn about the history of the Jewish population in Frauenkirchen.
