In Schwanenteichpark in Zwickau, the last place of residence of the NSU core group, ten trees on the Ziegelwiese meadow commemorate the ten murder victims of the National Socialist Underground; beneath each tree lies a memorial plaque bearing the name of a victim.

The first tree – an oak for Enver Şimşek – was planted on 8 September 2019, but was sawn down by unknown persons during the night of 3 October 2019. The complete group of trees was inaugurated on 3 November 2019.
