The porcelain-coloured panels have a rectangular shape measuring 60 by 40 centimetres (24 in × 16 in) and bear the title "Berlin Memorial Plaque" in capital letters and a cobalt blue explanatory inscription on a white background.
The factory logo is present at the base of the panel, in the form of a cobalt blue sceptre.
[6] After the turn of the century, it was decided that an applicant must make a payment of 2500 Euro's, gain permission from the owner of the property where the plaque is to be placed and gain permission from the district council (German: Kreistag) before proceeding with the placement of the plaque.
Wieland Schütz then provides the graphic implementation of the text, partly with further design features.
Finally, the applicant ensures that the plaque is affixed correctly, which will then become the property of the respective district office.
