The memorial was officially inaugurated on the first anniversary of the attack, December 19, 2017. The design of the memorial was decided in the competition "In memory of the victims of the terrorist attack on December 19, 2016, Breitscheidplatz". The design by the Merz Merz GmbH & Co. KG design office is to be implemented.
This design provides for a crack to run through part of the floor on Breitscheidplatz. The crack should be filled with a gold-colored alloy. On the front of the steps in front of the Gedächtniskirche there is an inscription with the following wording: "In memory of the victims of the terrorist attack on December 19, 2016. For a peaceful coexistence of all people. Those who died that night.). "
In the act of terrorism, which was aimed at a Christmas market on Breitscheidplatz, twelve people were killed and numerous other people were injured, some seriously. After the attack, the desire for a permanent memorial was often expressed, which is why the design competition was announced.
