While these crimes committed by the Nazis at the end of the war were intended to cover up injustice and cruelty, the creation of the cemetery of honour on the Arthur-Menge-Ufer on the north shore of the Maschsee was deliberately chosen as a central inner-city location behind the New Town Hall for commemoration.
