Informationen
Following the creation of a framework concept and an urban and open space planning competition, a feasibility study was carried out in 2024/2025. As part of a joint research project, the Institute for the History and Ethics of Medicine at Friedrich-Alexander University (FAU) and the Erlangen City Archives have been investigating the events at the sanatorium and nursing home between 1933 and 1945 since 2019. The findings and ideas gathered will be incorporated into the realization of the memorial site.
The city of Erlangen, the FAU and the University Hospital will steer and bring the project to exhibition maturity in the coming years with national and international expertise. The founding office began its work in October 2025. The establishment of a foundation is being prepared in parallel.
The time frame will be concretized with the development of a concept for the memorial site.
Competition: 200,000 euros
Research project: project phase 1 117,000 euros, project phase 2 150,000 euros
Concept consolidation and coordination office (pro rata financing): 79,000 euros
To accompany the process, a "Forum Erinnerungs- und Zukunftsort Heil- und Pflegeanstalt Erlangen" was founded in 2020. In addition to various interest groups, interested citizens are also represented here. The forum meets in public. Discussion and information events are held throughout the duration of the process.
