Check out the Book Burning Memorial in the ground. The square is also one of the best spots during the Festival of Lights.

When it's cold out it's very hard to see the book burning memorial due to the condensation on the glass. Look at it from an angle to get a better view . Ps- it's the glass square in the ground.

Today you can borrow books here not burn them. Sit back in a free bean bag.

Hard to see on certain days, but the burning sight is a window into a white room with empty bookshelves.

Erlangte 1933 traurige Berühmtheit als Schauplatz der von Propagandaminister Goebbels initiierten Bücherverbrennung.

Ein sehr bewegendes Mahnmal in der Mitte. Anschauen!

Taygun Gulsen

Tam ortasında kitap yakma anıtı mevcut. Hukuk fakültesinin olduğu yerde eskiden kütuphane varmış. Naziler kitapları oradan alıp bu çukurda yakıyorlarmış.

Bişi anlamadım. Zira bol inşaat mazemesiyle doluydu etraf. Orjinali hali güzelmiş ama sanki.
