Stumbling Stones Salierring 50

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Dr. Hugo Zade (born 1880, murdered in Auschwitz)
Dr. Ursula Zade (born 1912, murdered in Auschwitz)
Hans Peter Zade (fled out of Germany)
Martha Zade (born 1883, murdered in Auschwitz)

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).
