Jewish Memorial at the Großmarkthalle

Group Tours of the Jewish Memorial at the Großmarkthalle

The memorial at the Großmarkthalle, Frankfurt's former main market hall, was designed at the time of the construction of the new European Central Bank (ECB). It pays tribute to the memory of some 10,000 former Frankfurt residents, who were from here deported by train to concentration camps, where they were systematically murdered. The cellars of the former Großmarkthalle, which are now part of the memorial site, were used by the Gestapo from 1941 to 1945 as an assembly centre for Jews prior to their deportation.

One section of this place of remembrance, situated along the former railway embankment, is publically accessible (Philipp-Holzmann-Weg). The previously mentioned vaulted cellars are in fact located on the grounds of the ECB and may therefore only be visited within the framework of a guided tour.

Guided tours are also bookable from the Jüdische Museum (Jewish Museum).
