Place of the Depoted Jewish People

Memorial of the worst crime in Hamburg´s history

Moorweidenstraße
Hamburg, Hamburg 20146
+49 (0)40 4283 8032

A commemorative plaque between the main university building and the Freemansion´s building at Moorweidenstraße recalls the terrible function of this place in the time of the National Socialism. Here, at the "place of the deported Jewish people", a part of the Moorweide, Hamburg´s Jews had to gather before they were sent to the concentration camps in the east - Theresienstadt, Auschwitz, Minsk, Riga and Lodz. It was not before the eighties that a memorial and the commemorative plaque were set up at the square of the departed people.
