Memorial Path Pirna

The memorial path (Gedenkspur) in Pirna runs from the Elbe through the old town of Pirna to the gas chamber of Sonnenstein. The route is marked by 14,751 crosses, often numbered. These are dyed on the sidewalk or street. The memorial makes the number 14,751, the number of known gassed people in Pirna-Sonnenstein, more visible.

The paint is subject to wear. This is a conscious choice so that the memorial should be maintained permanently. Several times a year maintenance days are held to allow young people help to maintain the memorial. For this there is a lot of interest.
