Stumbling Stones Lindenthalgürtel 11

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Charlotte Pincus (born 1906, murdered in Izbica)
Dr. Friedrich Pincus (born 1871, murdered in Theresienstadt on 6-11-1943)
Eugenie Pincus (born 1874, murdered in Theresienstadt in december 1944)

The small copper plaques, in the pavement in front of houses of which the (mostly Jewish) residents were murdered by the Nazis, mention the name, date of birth and place (mostly a concentration camp) and date of death.

In many other cities, mainly in Germany but also in other European countries, the memorials also can be found. There are already many thousands of these plaques and their number is still counting. Almost all Stolpersteine are laid by the German artist himself, Gunter Demnig.

For more information and pictures, please visit Stolpersteine in Cologne (in German).
