Residencial building at Lichtenhagen which was set on fire in 1992 by a xenophobic mob.
Rostock, Germany.
The Sonnenblumenhaus in Rostock is a residential building in the district of Lichtenhagen, built in the 1970s as part of a large prefabricated housing estate. It became tragically well known in August 1992 as the site of severe xenophobic riots, which drew international attention to Germany shortly after reunification. Today, the building stands both as a place of everyday life and as a reminder of the need for vigilance against racism and violence.
