Remembering marginalisation, forced labour & deviance
The Initiative Riebeckstraße 63 at the historical site of the former workhouse in Leipzig

We are committed to establishing a place of active remembrance, learning and encounter at the site of the former Municipal Workhouse at Riebeckstraße 63. The history of this site was characterized by exclusion, confinement, and violence for many decades starting in the late 19th century, and many people suffered here.

On our website, you can learn more about the history of Riebeckstraße 63 and about us. We provide information on research findings, updates on our activities, and upcoming events to which you are, of course, warmly invited.
