Ingelheim am Rhein, Germany
The square in front of the Renate Media Center Library in Ingelheim owes its name, at the initiative of the Ingelheimer Alliance against Racism and Violence (In-RAGE), to the Jewish girl Renate Wertheim who was deported in September 1942 to the Treblinka concentration camp.
The square has three green blocks arranged in an amoeba-like format, each of a different size and shade trees have been planted, bounded by custom-fashioned, white, precast concrete pieces that are used as benches and for soil containment purposes. The different curvatures were obtained using ten different models and a total of 72 pieces for the whole project.
