The year is 1942. A chilling silence hangs over the Platz’scher Garten in Würzburg. Where laughter and music once filled the air, fear and uncertainty now reign. This is the Weg der Erinnerung: Station 1 – Platz’scher Garten Stele. It marks the beginning of a tragic journey for over 1,500 Jewish men, women, and children from Würzburg and Unterfranken. The Platz’scher Garten, a former pleasure garden, has been transformed into a collection point for three deportations. Imagine families huddled together, clutching their meager belongings. They are forced to leave their homes, their lives, and everything they hold dear. The Weg der Erinnerung: Station 1 – Platz’scher Garten Stele stands as a stark reminder of this horrific event. The stele’s inscription tells us that from this very spot, people were torn from their lives and sent to their deaths. They were forced to walk from here, carrying their luggage, to the Aumühle train station. The Weg der Erinnerung traces this final, heartbreaking journey. The deportations from the Platz’scher Garten represent a dark chapter in Würzburg’s history. This was the third deportation site used by the Gestapo. The first two were the Stadthalle/Schrannenhalle and the Fränkischer Hof in Kitzingen. The Weg der Erinnerung: Station 1 – Platz’scher Garten Stele serves as a poignant reminder of the atrocities committed against the Jewish community. It compels us to remember and learn from the past, so that such horrors are never repeated.
