one of the main fears
Does the highlighted part mean "one of the reason why some people protested against the construction of this memorial was that they thought it would become a place where people would bring flowers with them and leave them there as a ritual"?
It is not a shrine or monument in the customary sense: a place neither of mourning (Denkmal) – amongst other things, somewhere for ‘esteemed visitors’ to dump tokenistic commemorative wreaths, as was one of the main fears in the debate over whether to countenance such a memorial– nor of warning (Mahnmal), but an integrative presence in the centre of Berlin
