The Torn Pearl Necklace Memorial

Highlight • Monument

In the Brachenreuthe district of Überlingen, just a few hundred meters from the camphill school community Brachenreuthe, the Tupolev's fuselage was found, and this is where most of the victims of this plane crash were recovered. After the rescue and clearing measures had been completed, the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science announced the construction of a memorial. After a selection by a jury, it was built in Brachenreuthe and inaugurated on May 3, 2004.

The memorial is located northwest of Überlingen and can be reached via the Brachenreuthe exit of the B 31n or the exit towards Nesselwangen on the federal road 31. It is under the title Memento mori - In the middle of life we are surrounded by death, based on the song by Martin Luther.

The sculpture "The Torn Pearl Necklace" was designed by Andrea Zaumseil. Hollow stainless steel balls with a diameter of about one meter, some of which are connected by steel cables, are reminiscent of a torn pearl necklace. The memorial commemorates the victims and expresses the sympathy of the people in the region who were spared from the disaster.

The relatives of the victims of the crash are grateful for the sympathy, help and commemoration of the people of Überlingen. Relatives from Bashkiria, 4000 kilometers away, visit the memorial site. Next to the memorial, the relatives planted 71 birch and ash trees to commemorate the 71 dead in the accident. As a thank you for the helpfulness of the people of Überlingen, the bereaved on November 4, 2017 planted twenty Siberian stone pines on the northern slope opposite the memorial. Every five years there is a memorial service at the crash site.
