Coalition Finalizes Plan for NSU Documentation Center in Nürnberg

The center will honor victims and critically examine NSU crimes, marking a significant decision to locate it in Nürnberg over Berlin.

The coalition agreement mandates the establishment of an NSU Documentation Center in Nürnberg, overcoming prior funding and political hurdles.
The center will focus on honoring victims and critically analyzing the right-wing extremist crimes committed by the NSU between 2000 and 2007.
Nürnberg's selection reflects its historical significance, as three of the NSU's murder victims were killed in the city.
Local leaders, including Mayor Marcus König, have strongly supported the decision, citing Nürnberg's established remembrance culture and institutional expertise.
The decision updates earlier proposals that favored Berlin, with Nürnberg being recognized as a more symbolically and practically fitting location.
