A Silent Path of Remembrance at the District Hospital Ansbach
This tour combines historical reflection with a dignified commemoration of the victims. At the site of the former care and nursing institution Ansbach, a space for contemplation, remembrance, and a responsible religious and societal attitude towards the victims of Nazi 'Euthanasia' is created.
Tracking Traces of a Heavy History
The memorial sites on the grounds of the District Hospital make visible what has long been repressed. The first of seven transportations for death left the institution for Pirna-Sonnenstein on October 25, 1940; within a few months, nearly 900 people were deported from Ansbach to killing centers. The tour contextualizes these events and opens a clear view of the historical injustice.

Community, Dignity, and Religious Responsibility
The concluding commemoration of the victims sets a sign for compassion, human dignity, and a culture of remembrance. In such a faith experience, silence, respect, and the spiritual community of the participants come to the forefront. The event connects to the local processing by the District of Middle Franconia and the District Hospitals of Middle Franconia.
