memorial plaque, in memoriam first concentration camp in South Hessen,<\/em>
\n Ginnheimer Landstra\u00dfe 40-42, Frankfurt am Main<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The principal function of the memorial plaque<\/h3>\n

is, in my opinion, to provide information on history \/ on the way that a site was used at a particular time in the Third Reich. The people affected by the Nazis criminal actions are not mentioned in person in the text but are assigned to specific groups in society.<\/p>\n

The location of the memorial plaque<\/h3>\n

is a student hostel, a place of temporary residence for young, educated people. Its sophisticated, contemporary design has been realized in a simple way.<\/p>\n

The design<\/h3>\n

takes its cue from this understanding of both the plaque\u2019s function and its location.
\nThe design avoids the received aesthetic approach, which hinges on premium materials of outstanding quality for memorial plaques. Instead, an approach was chosen that used \u201cordinary\u201d materials and an \u201cordinary\u201d design, and is reminiscent of the usual signposts while offering a completely new interpretation in the form of the plaque\u2019s specific design.
\nThe person contemplating the plaque sees something that is at once familiar and strange. As I see it, in this location an unpretentious look seems to be the best possible solution for a plaque with this kind of content.
\nThe dimensions and the font of the German writing on the sign comply with the DIN standard for road signs while the actual size of the plaque does not. The English-language text does not meet the DIN standard but has different dimensions (it is three times as long).<\/p>\n

Similarly, unlike most customary signage, the surface of the plaques does not resort to the use of color. With their natural hue, the two epoxy-coated aluminum plaques are weatherproof and, with their simple, gray appearance, are in complete character with their sorrowful contents and dimensions. Mounted so they seem to be hovering in front of the wall, the plaques can be attached without visible screw heads.<\/p>\n

Hier, auf dem Gel\u00e4nde eines ehemaligen Erziehungsheimes, im Volksmund \u201ePerlenfabrik\u201c genannt, errichtete 1933 die SA nur wenige Monate nach der nationalsozialistischen Machtergreifung das erste Konzentrationslager in S\u00fcdhessen. Vor allem Gewerkschafter, Sozialdemokraten und Kommunisten wurden hier inhaftiert, gefoltert und gequ\u00e4lt. Das KZ bestand nur kurze Zeit und wurde im Sommer 1933 aufgel\u00f6st. Zahlreiche der verbliebenen H\u00e4ftlinge kamen in andere Konzentrationslager, vor allem nach Osthofen (heute Rheinland-Pfalz) und Dachau.<\/p>\n

In 1933, only a few months after the Nazis seized power, the SA set up the first concentration camp in South Hessen here, on the grounds of what was once an approved school that the locals called the \u201cPerlenfabrik\u201d (bead factory). First and foremost, trade unionists, Social Democrats and Communists were imprisoned here, tortured and tormented. The concentration camp existed only briefly as was closed down in summer 1933. Many of the remaining inmates were deported to other concentration camps, mainly to Osthofen (Rhineland-Palatinate) and Dachau (Bavaria).<\/p>\n
