Central Monument to Escape and Expulsion 1945
The Gate Is A Sign Of Hope.
A Reminder Of Life Regained
And A Positive Perspective On The Future.
The Copper Plate Set Flush In The Ground,
Yet Permanently Visible, Symbolizes
The Fateful Experience Of Losing One's Homeland.
A Solid Copper Gate Measuring 500x400x100cm
And A Solid Copper Plate Measuring 400x100x16cm
Set Flush In The Ground
The Two Separate Elements
Standing 18 Metres Apart Are Connected
By A Four Metre Wide Paved Area
Components Of The Gate Are A Floor Plate, Walls, Recesses,
Gate Opening And A Ceiling Plate,
The East And The West Aspects Are Identical As Are
The North And South.
