Platz der Opfer des Nationalsozialismus

The Platz der Opfer des Nationalsozialismus is a quiet green space located at the northern end of the Maximiliansplatz, marked by a granite column featuring a permanently burning flame encased in bronze. When the city council first gave the square this name in nineteen forty-six, only a year after the war, the decision sparked such intense local protest that the street sign was destroyed.
