Stumbling Stones Spichernstraße 24

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Erna Lion (born 1904, faith unknown)
Paul Lion (born 1900, faith unknown)
Alfred Moritz Wulf (born 1897, murdered in Chelmno in September 1942)
Betty Wulf (born 1871, murdered in Chelmno in September 1942)
Johanna Paula Wulf (born 1901, murdered in Chelmno in September 1942)
Karl Wulf (born 1893, murdered in Chelmno in September 1942)

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).
