„Gegen das Vergessen – In Gedenken an Corinna Tartarotti“

In the organizer's words:

Lectures by Nicole Lasall and Monica Zornetta

On January 7, 1984, right-wing terrorists from the "Ludwig Group" carried out an arson attack on the Liverpool discotheque in Munich. Eight people were injured, some of them seriously. Corinna Tartarotti, a young woman from Munich, died on April 27, 1984 as a result of the attack. In total, the "Ludwig Group" killed at least 15 people between 1977 and 1984 and injured many more, most of them in northern Italy.

On the upcoming anniversary of the right-wing terrorist arson attack in Munich, the state capital is erecting a memorial stele at the historic site at Schillerstrasse 11a. On Tuesday, January 7, at 10 a.m., Mayor Verena Dietl will open the public commemoration on behalf of the Lord Mayor. Speakers will include activists from Antisexistische Aktion München, who have been keeping the public memory of the attack alive for several years, and Barbara Turczynski-Hartje, representative against right-wing extremism of the Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt district committee.

From 7 p.m., the Munich Cultural Department, Public History Department, invites you to an evening event at the Köşk. Nicole Lasall, head of the city's Equal Opportunities Office for Women, will speak about politically motivated violence against women*. Afterwards, Italian journalist and author Monica Zornetta will give a talk about the Ludwig Group and current research. The lecture in Italian will be simultaneously translated into German.
