Wiesbaden (dpa / lhe) - Around a year after the attack in Hanau, the city is launching a door sign campaign under the motto "Open to diversity - closed against exclusion".

February 19, 2020 is the darkest day for Hanau in times of peace, said Mayor Claus Kaminsky (SPD) on Monday evening.

«After the phase of mourning, it is now the time to remember and to remind.

Each of us can help ensure that we will live together peacefully in the future. "

Companies, public institutions, associations and also private households are called upon to hang the door signs on doors.

On February 19 last year, the 43-year-old German Tobias R. shot nine people with foreign roots before allegedly killing his mother and ultimately himself.

The racially motivated act caused horror nationwide.

The Hessian state parliament is commemorating the victims of the racially motivated attack this Tuesday (2 p.m.).

State Parliament President Boris Rhein (CDU) gives a speech.

In addition, a minute's silence is planned in the state parliament.
