How is a memorial created and who decides on it?
In the next LIPPSTADTGESCHICHTE(n) contribution on 28.05.2026, Judith Thamm sheds light on the creation of the Jewish memorial. Between citizens' initiative, city administration and public debate, it becomes clear that the path was anything but straightforward.
Based on her bachelor's thesis, Judith Thamm from Lippstadt takes the audience on this journey through the history of its creation and shows how different ideas clash when memory takes shape in public space. The article invites you to get to know this period of the city's recent history and to take a fresh look at the memorial.
