»8. November 1939« – Georg Elser Denkmal
In the location's words:
Silke Wagner: "November 8, 1939" - Georg Elser Memorial, 2009
Türkenstraße / corner of Georg-Elser-Platz, 80799 Munich
The work "8 November 1939" by Frankfurt artist Silke Wagner from 2009 symbolizes the detonation of the bomb by resistance fighter Georg Elser, with which he wanted to stop Hitler and the National Socialist regime. The neon work focuses on the moment that could have changed the history of the 20th century. Every evening at 9.20 pm, the time of the failed assassination attempt, the red neon tubes of the artwork light up and draw attention to the historical event. The elements arranged in a circle form the lettering "November 8, 1939" and create an abstract representation of the explosion.
One minute later, at 9.21 pm, the light goes out again. Every day punctually from 9.20 p.m. to 9.21 p.m., the far-sighted, courageous act of the carpenter Georg Elser, who paid with his life for his selfless decision to rid the world of Adolf Hitler, is commemorated.
