Commemorating 10 Stylization Points in the Bandung Ocean of Fire Event

The Bandung Sea of ​​Fire incident that occurred 76 years ago or March 24, 1946 is an important moment for the people of Indonesia, especially the people of Bandung. At that time, the people chose to burn their houses down rather than hand them over to the allied military.

As a form of respect for the struggle of the heroes and citizens of Bandung, the Bandung Ocean of Fire (BLA) monument was built at Tegallega Field. In addition, the city of Bandung also has 10 pieces of evidence or stylization spread over 10 points.

These stylizations include the place where the people of Bandung read the text of the proclamation for the first time, the location of the tearing of the Dutch flag and the headquarters of the Bandung Sea of ​​Fire fighters.

Here are 10 stylized Bandung Oceans of Fire:

1. Jalan Ir H. Juanda - Sultan Agung.
The stylized is in front of the building of the former Japanese news agency, Domei, which has been around since 1937. According to historical records, this is the first time the people of Bandung have read the text of the proclamation of the proclamation. This time the building is used as the BTPN Bank Office.

2. Jalan Braga
Stilasi 2, precisely at the intersection of Jalan Braga and Jalan Naripan, is the Bank Jabar building which was formerly known as the Denis Building.

In this building, in October 1945, Bandung fighters Moeljono and E. Karmas tore the Dutch flag.

3. Asia-Africa Road
Stilasi 3 is in front of the Jiwasraya Insurance Building on Jalan Asia-Afrika or opposite the West Java Grand Mosque.

Previously, this building was used as the headquarters of the 8th regiment which was built in 1922.

4. Crossroads
Stilasi 4 is in a house located on Jalan Simpang. This is where the formulation and decision on the scorched earth of the city of Bandung was made. The order to leave the city of Bandung was also ordered from this house.

The house is now used as a residence and is still in its original form.

5. Dewi Sartika Elementary School
Stilasi 5 is not far from Jalan Oto Iskandardinata - Jalan Kautamaan Istri. Precisely in front of SD Dewi Sartika.

6. Ciguriang Street
Stilasi 6 is located right on Jalan Ciguriang next to the Yogya Kepatihan shopping center. Stilasi 6 is located in a house that is also the command headquarters of the Siliwangi Division III, led by Kol. AH. Nasution.

7. Intersection of Central Arch - Deep Lengkong
This stylization is located at the intersection of Jalan Lengkong Tengah and Jalan Lengkong Dalam, exactly behind the Unpas campus.

This place is a place where the Indo-Dutch people live.

8. New Bridge Road
The 8th stilation is on Jalan Jembatan Baru which was one of the fighters' lines of defense during the Lengkong battle.

9. Asmi Street
Stilasi 9 is at SD ASMI, right on Jalan Asmi. The main building of the building has not changed much.

This place was used as the headquarters for youth fighters, PESINDO, and BBRI before the Bandung Lautan Api incident.

10. Gloria Church
Stylized 10 is in front of a church located on this street. The church, named Gloria, was formerly the NIROM transmitter building that was used to spread the proclamation of independence throughout Indonesia and the world.

Opposite this stylization, in Tegallega Park, a sturdy monument called the Bandung Lautan Api monument stands. (ray)**
