Lübeck Unveils Memorial Plaque Honoring Germany’s Reunification Journey
Lübeck's city assembly has honoured the historic events of Germany's division and reunification with a memorial plaque. Created by artist Herbert Müller-Fried, the plaque consists of two stone slabs, serving as a lasting reminder of these significant moments.
In 1975, the city assembly resolved to erect the plaque, which was later placed at the site of the Monument for German Reunification in Nordhausen. The left slab bears the date 'OCTOBER 3, 1990', marking the day of German reunification, while the right slab declares 'THE GOAL IS ACHIEVED', symbolising the successful reunification process.
Through his work, Müller-Fried aimed to preserve the history and identity of Germany's division and reunification. In 1994, the city assembly further acknowledged these events by adding an update to the memorial.
The 'German Unity' memorial plaque stands as a testament to Germany's past, serving as a reminder of the country's division and eventual reunification. It continues to educate and inspire visitors, honouring the historic events that shaped the nation.
