Schlachthoframpe
Schlachthoframpe stands in Wiesbaden between railway tracks, a leisure and cultural park, the Schlachthof cultural centre, and Kreativfabrik. Established in 2010, this memorial marks the site where most of Wiesbaden’s Jewish community faced deportation during the Holocaust. A remaining wall carries photorealistic graffiti by Wiesbaden artist Yorkar7, based on photographs from 1 September 1942.
A chestnut avenue by Frankfurt artist Vollrad Kutscher leads towards the large mural. Its planters also provide seats, carrying fragments of farewell letters from people deported from Wiesbaden in distinctive graffiti styles. A stele by Nicole Friedrich explains the persecution of Jews under the Nazi regime, while the wall remains visible to passing trains.
Thirty-eight historical photographs document registration at the Jewish community centre and deportation from this location. About 370 people, mostly elderly, were forced to gather at the synagogue on Friedrichstraße before transport to Theresienstadt. Most deportees did not survive the concentration and extermination camps.
