The memorial has been constructed in accordance with the resolution of the German Bundestag. The initiative »Remember the Homosexual Victims of National Socialism« and the »Lesbian and Gay Federation of Germany«, jointly initiated this project. The Foundation Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe has been entrusted with the supervision of the memorial site on behalf of the Federal Government.
With this Memorial, the Federal Republic of Germany intends
– to honour the victims of persecution and murder,
– to keep alive the memory of this injustice, and
– to create a lasting symbol of opposition to enmity, intolerance and the exclusion of gay men and lesbians.
The Memorial will be located in close proximity to the Brandenburger Tor, the Reichstag building and the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe.
