Memorial in memory of the burning of books

The memorial is a 5x5x5 metre underground room which is set into Bebelplatz. It is located at the height of the backfilled western ramp of the Lindentunnel, which was demolished for the construction over a length of 25 metres. On the walls of the completely whitewashed room there are empty shelves for 20,000 volumes. The empty room is not accessible. A glass plate in the pavement of the square gives visitors a view.
