Mahnmal für Opfer von Krieg und Gewalt
Mahnmal für Opfer von Krieg und Gewalt stands in Munich’s Sendling district, directly outside the Himmelfahrtskirche. The memorial honours victims of war and violence throughout history. Its position beside the church gives the site a quiet setting for remembering suffering caused by conflict and aggression. The church’s architecture forms a striking backdrop behind the memorial.
A chapel inside the Himmelfahrtskirche originally commemorated those who died in the World Wars during the 1960s. In 1988, the memorial moved outside the church. The dedication then widened from the World Wars to include all victims of war and violence. That change brings the concrete detail of the site into focus: remembrance now stands in the open air, before the church.
