Schmotzer bleibt.

Why it surfaced

This is unusually deliberate memorial architecture: visitors can click through six visual details of the monument, follow the story from Schmotzer’s life through the proceedings, and distinguish documented information from unresolved questions. Its explicit rejection of threats, doxxing, and vigilantism gives the emotionally charged project a notably careful civic frame.

An interactive German-language memorial for Schmotzer, a cat from Brixen im Thale, combining a digital monument, timeline, documented context, open questions, and a map of remembrance candles.
