the original building, headquarter of the infamous ss of the german nazi regime, that stood here was destroyed. the atrocities during the ns-period that took place on this site, were below ground and have partly been preserved. the remaining pillars, perforations and niches become the central theme. around these, a below ground design has been conceived, a space to excavate the painful past. any bold and iconic gesture would be an inappropriate response. this leaves a green park above for contemplation, a breathing space for the visitors and non-visitors.
