Memorial place Hannoverscher station in the Hafencity in Hamburg in memory of the deportation of at least 8.012 Jews, Roma and Sinti. The memorial was inaugurated on 5 May 2017
The Hannoversche station in Hamburg was officially Venloer station until 1892. Other names were Parisian railway station or Hannoverster station. Until it was replaced by the Hamburg main station in 1906, it was the station for all passenger trains that crossed the Elbe near Hamburg. Between 1906 and 1999 he was one of the most important goods stations of Hamburg under the names of Hamburg Hgbf Han and Hamburg Hauptgüterbahnhof. From 1940 to 1945, the station functioned as the center of Hamburg for the deportation of Jews, Sinti and Roma. The railway station was located on the Gross Grasbrook on the site of today's Lohseplatz.
During the Nazi period, the station served as a central station for the deportation of Jews, Sinti and Roma between 1940 and 1945. Despite the proximity to the city center the location of the station should have been in the sense of the responsible persons, since deportations from the "Hauptbahnhof probably had aroused too much public attention [n]. Nevertheless, the deportations from the Hannoverschen Bahnhof were not a secret company, which remained hidden from the public in Hamburg.
On May 16, 1940, the police seized about 550 Sinti and Roma in Hamburg, another about 200 from Schleswig-Holstein and about 160 from Bremen. They were interned for four days in the fruit shed 10 at Magdeburger Hafen. On May 20, 1940, they were deported from the nearby Hanover railway station to the working camps of the municipality of Belzec. Between May 20, 1940 and February 14, 1945, Hamburg left 20 transports from the Hannoverschen Bahnhof, which transported 7692 Jews, Sinti and Roma to Eastern European ghettoes (Lodz, Minsk, Riga, Theresienstadt) or extermination camps (Auschwitz- Birkenau, Belzec) Were deported. At least 6500 of them found their death there, probably more than a thousand people.
