Edvard Ravnikar Hostages cemetery

The burial grounds are designed in such a way that the multitude of uniform stones creates a powerful representation of the high number of victims of the German forces, while at the same time they enable the creation of individual memories according to the wishes of the relatives of the deceased.
Larger common stones are envisaged to denote the memory of the rest.
The burial ground in Draga is built from local materials and is of simple execution. A smaller gathering point is envisaged at the memorial stone (in the shape of boundary stone), with the hostage standing almost on the floor. Access to water for watering flowers is envisaged as is a small waste area for dead flowers. Between the stones there is Alpine greenery together with colourful flowers in bloom.
