Klagebalken
The memorial Klagebalken for the victims of the attack is the work of German sculptor Fritz Koenig. The marble arbor – which is ten meters broad – is embedded centrally on top of a single base right underneath of one of the tent roof’s porter cables. The names of the victims of the Olympic athletes team of Israel as well as a German police officer killed in the rescue attempt are engraved in this marble arbor. The eleven hostages’ names are written in Hebrew letters while the name of the German police officer is written in Roman letters. The memorial was built on September 27th, 1995.
