Memorial to the victims of an accident in 1961 in Dortmund
Pictures and text by Mark R. Hatlie
These pictures were taken on 8 June, 2007 in the main cemetery (Hauptfriedhof) in Dortmund. Knapsack-Griesheim Corporation is described in one source as an oxygin factory, but I can't find any information about the nature of the accident. There were 15 people killed.
