The Anne Frank Gedenktafel is a bronze memorial plaque in Frankfurt, marking the former home of Anne Frank’s family. The former address is on Ganghoferstraße in Frankfurt. Anne Frank spent her early years here before her family moved to Amsterdam in 1933, amid antisemitic persecution. Hans Bernt Gebhardt created the bronze plaque in 1957. It connects Anne Frank’s Frankfurt childhood with her later fate under Nazi persecution. Its inscription identifies the house as Anne Frank’s former home. It records her birth in Frankfurt on 12 June 1929 and her death at Bergen-Belsen in 1945. The inscription presents her life and death as a responsibility towards Frankfurt’s youth. The memorial connects Anne Frank’s family history with Frankfurt’s historical memory. Anne Frank’s diary later became a symbol of the Holocaust’s human cost. This site preserves one specific place in that history. The recorded site properties include wheelchair accessibility. Its subject remains Anne Frank’s early life in Frankfurt.
