76th Infantry Regiment Memorial in Hamburg

The 76th Infantry Regiment Memorial was built in Hamburg, Germany, in 1936 to commemorate soldiers who had died in the Franco-Prussian War and the First World War. The memorial, constructed during National Socialist rule, has been criticised for glorifying military conflict. This case study examines the actions and decision-making processes of multiple stakeholders, including the creation of counter-memorials as alternative forms of public remembrance.
