In memory of Dieter Eich

Dieter Eich

Dieter Eich

On the night of 24th May 2000, Dieter Eich was first brutally beaten up and later murdered in cold blood by four neo-Nazis in his flat here in Walter-Friedrich-Straße 52.
The motive for the murder was hatred of the unemployed.

The 60-year-old had no job at the time and was going through a serious personal crisis.
Friends of Dieter Eich found him dead in his bed the next day.

Dieter Eich became a victim of an ideology that measures the value of people by their capacity to work and their employment status.

No one is forgotten!
