Stumbling Stones Maastrichter Straße 21

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Betty Fass (born 1891, faith unknown)
Egon Fass (born 1888, faith unknown)
Fritz Fass (born 1922, faith unknown)
Karl Heinz Horn (born 1919, faith unknown)
Martha Horn (born 1889, faith unknown)
Paul Patzauer (murdered in Theresienstadt on 14-8-1944)

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).
