FÜR CAPRI UND ROXI (queer memorial)

FÜR CAPRI UND ROXI is Hamburg's memorial for sexual and gender diversity, a bluish-violet metal sculpture by the artists Franziska Opel and Hannah Rath. It was inaugurated on 11 October 2026 at Enckeplatz in the Neustadt. The title refers to the Capri and Roxi, two dance bars hit by a 1960 order from the Hamburg-Mitte district that banned men from dancing together. The work won the city's art competition for a memorial site, and the Senate budgeted €300,000 for it. It is an open public artwork, free to visit at any time. Neuengamme concentration-camp memorial also holds an annual commemoration for homosexual prisoners.
