Place de la Marche vers l`Europe - Platz der ersten europäischen Vereinigung

On the 6th of August in 1950 about 300 people went to St. Germersheim (Southern Palatine at the boarder to France) to tear down the turnpike for celebrating a agreed and unified Europe. These people from many european countries demanded in their speaches with a lot of idealism and enthusiasm a unified Europe with peace and security. Today at this place there is a monument for these forerunners for the European Union which made a sign in celebrating and demanding the international understanding in Europe.
