Ehrenfeld Group

The Ehrenfeld Group (German: Ehrenfelder Gruppe, German: [ˈeː.ʁənˌfɛl.dɐ ˈɡʁʊ.pə] ^ⓘ; sometimes called the Steinbrück Group, German: Steinbrück-Gruppe, German: [ˈʃtaɪ̯n.bʁʏk ˌɡʁʊ.pə] ^ⓘ) was an anti-Nazi resistance group, active in the summer and autumn of 1944.

The group, which consisted of over one hundred people, centered on Hans Steinbrück, an escaped concentration camp prisoner. Its members included young people, including teens active in the local Edelweiss Pirates group, escaped detainees from forced labor camps, and Jews. On 10 November 1944, thirteen members of the group were publicly hanged in Cologne.
