The Subject Of The Competition Is The Design Of A Monument To The Polish Victims Of National Socialism And The German Tyranny In Poland From 1939 To 1945 For A Joint, Individual Or Official Commemoration. The Aim Of The Competition Is To Develop A Convincing Design For The Monument, Which Serves As The Basis For Further Planning And Implementation. The Planned Location Is The Western Part Of Platz Der Republik, Which Is West Of Heinrich-Von-Gagern-Straße. The Kroll Opera Once Stood Here, Where Adolf Hitler Announced And Propagandistically Justified The Attack On Poland On September 1, 1939. Since June 2025, There Has Been A Temporary Memorial Site In This Area With A Large Boulder, Which Was Created As A Result Of A Civil Society Initiative And Is To Be Replaced As A Temporary Symbol By The Memorial Advertised Here. According To A Resolution By The German Bundestag, A Design Competition Should Include Contextualization. “In Order To Illustrate The Effects Of German Occupation In Poland From 1939 To 1945, Which Are Not Well Known In Germany,” The Coalition Factions Believe That “Low-Threshold Information Should Be Provided In The Immediate Vicinity Of The Memorial And The Remembrance Of The Polish Victims Of National Socialism Should Be Deepened.” This Should Be Done Through An Open-Air Exhibition That Is Accessible At All Times. A Maximum Budget Of 5 Million Euros (Including Vat) Is Planned For The Implementation Of The Monument. This Total Amount Also Includes Construction Preparation And Accompanying Costs.
