The District Representation Favoriten opened a memorial on 10 November 2017 in Humboldtpark for the 1938 destroyed congregation synagogue of the Israelite Temple and School Association for the 10th Community District Favoriten (Humboldt Temple). The memorial is located opposite the historical site of the synagogue, at Haus Humboldtplatz 7. The artwork consists of a base, on whose surface the floor plans of the interior rooms are reproduced. A glass construction reconstructs the façade view and the outlines of the temples in a small scale. The initiative for the erection of the memorial came from the association for district and everyday culture "Kulturraum 10". In May 2014, all parties represented in the District Council submitted a joint proposal, which received unanimous approval.
