“May 1st, 1945” the inscription on the Zur Erinnerung Plaque reads. A date forever etched in the memory of Rostock. The Zur Erinnerung Plaque commemorates a pivotal moment in this city’s history: the liberation of Rostock and over 1,400 prisoners of war and forced laborers. These individuals endured unimaginable hardship at the hands of the Nazi regime, particularly at the Neptunwerft shipyard. Their ordeal ended on this day thanks to the Red Army’s arrival. This plaque serves as a solemn reminder of their suffering, their liberation, and the fragility of peace.
