Gegendenkmal von Alfred Hrdlicka, 1986 - World War II Memorials / Monuments on Waymarking.com

Anfang der 1980er Jahre beschloss die Kulturbehörde Hamburg, dem auch als Kriegsklotz bezeichneten 76er Kriegerdenkmal am Dammtor ein Gegendenkmal als Gedenkstätte beiseite zu stellen.
Das so konzipierte Mahnmal gegen den Krieg des Wiener Künstlers Alfred Hrdlicka sollte aus vier einzelnen Teilen bestehen, von denen allerdings nur zwei zwischen 1983 und 1986 realisiert wurden, da das vorgesehene Budget damit aufgebraucht war.
Die bestehenden Exponate sind Darstellungen des Hamburger Feuersturms, im Gedenken an die Operation Gomorrha, und der Fluchtgruppe Cap Arcona, im Gedenken an die Häftlingskatastrophe dem Schiff Cap Arcona.
Die nicht fertiggestellten Teile hatten die Themen Soldatentod und Frauenbild im Faschismus.


In the early 1980s decided to cultural authority in Hamburg, the 76-block war as a war memorial called a counter-memorial on Dammtor put aside as a memorial.
The thus conceived war memorial by the Viennese artist Alfred Hrdlicka was to consist of four separate parts, one of which, however, realized only two were 1983-1986, when the proposed budget was consumed with it.
The existing exhibits are representations of the Hamburg firestorm, in memory of the Operation Gomorrah, and the fleeing group Cap Arcona, in memory of the catastrophe the prisoner ship Cap Arcona.
The unfinished parts had the soldier's death and women's picture in fascism.
