On December 19, 2016, a terrorist drove a truck into the stalls of the Christmas market at Berlin’s Breitscheidplatz.
Thirteen civilians died in the attack and more than sixty people were injured. This section analyzes how material manifestations of both “memory after violence” and “memory before violence” have been integrated into the
urban fabric of Breitscheidplatz since the attack, and how “memory before violence” in particular has initiated a profound spatial transformation of the site.
