The Bavarian Quarter

Situated in the Schöneberg district, the Bavarian Quarter was once a thriving center of Jewish life in Berlin. In the early 20th century, it was home to many Jewish families, including notable figures such as Albert Einstein and Hannah Arendt. However, with the rise of the Nazi regime, the area became emblematic of the systematic persecution that unfolded.https://widenthecircle.org/profiles/renata-stih-and-frieder-schnock.

In 1993, artists Renata Stih and Frieder Schnock initiated the "Places of Remembrance" project within the Bavarian Quarter. This decentralized memorial consists of 80 signs affixed to lampposts throughout the neighborhood. Each sign displays an image accompanied by a corresponding Nazi-era law that discriminated against Jews, effectively integrating the memorial into the everyday environment of the area. The signs serve as a stark reminder of the legal persecutions that led to the marginalization and eventual deportation of the Jewish community.
