monument for guest and contract workers in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg

The Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district office is committed to the establishment of a monument for the first generation of guest and contract workers in the district. The district committee commission and the Committee on Culture and Education of the District Assembly clearly support this project. This shows increasing recognition and appreciation for the contribution of this group on the history and development of the district.

participation of the community and memorial culture

District Mayor Clara Herrmann emphasized the importance of the integration of migrant self -organizations and individuals in the process of monument construction. This should ensure that different perspectives are taken into account and that a common understanding of the importance of the monument arises. The creation of a monument is recognized by the diverse history of the district and also made accessible to future generations.

historical diversity and recognition

Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, as a central east-west district, has experienced a rich historical and demographic development that was largely shaped by the first generation of guest and contract workers. The planned establishment of the monument is therefore a significant gesture of recognition and appreciation for your contributions to society and the cultural mosaic of the district.
