Map / Denkmal „Umbruch“
Am 20. Jahrestag vom Paneuropäischen Picknick wurde am 19. August 2009 das von Miklós Melocco geschaffene Denkmal „Umbruch“ im Beisein des ungarischen Staatspräsidenten Sólyom, der deutschen Bundeskanzlerin Merkel und des österreichischen Außenministers Spindelegger eingeweiht. Es besteht aus 15 lebensgroßen Figuren mit einem stilisierten Hintergrund und folgendem Spruch: „Am 19. August 1989 öffnete ein unterdrücktes Volk das Tor seines Gefängnisses, um einem anderen unterjochten Volk zur Freiheit zu verhelfen“.

Bei dieser Gedenkveranstaltung sagte der damalige ungarische Ministerpräsident Miklós Németh, dass das Paneuropäische Picknick ein „Test Moskaus“ war, weil die ungarische Regierung damals wissen wollte, ob man Michail Gorbatschow trauen könnte, der ihm im März 1989 versichert hatte, dass es „kein zweites 1956“ geben würde.
