Preferably visit at dawn or just after sunrise. Very quiet. Surrounded by a well-maintained park.

Fritz Cremer's famous Buchenwald sculpture is part of the Buchenwald Memorial, the largest and most important concentration camp memorial in Germany. Created between 1954 and 1958, the group of figures was restored between 2002 and 2005. The expressive group comprises eleven larger-than-life bronze figures symbolizing struggle and sacrifice, victory and the prisoners' oath. Behind the group of monuments, the 50-meter-high bell tower rises majestically, visible far into the distance.

This is where it traveled. In the spring of 1943, prisoners laid the 10km of track in just three months.

Fritz Cremer's famous group of figures in front of the bell tower of liberated prisoners is intended to symbolize the victory over the SS under the leadership of the Communist Party.
