Stumbling Stones Aplerbecker Marktplatz 6

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Otto Lenneberg (born 1899, murdered in Auschwitz in 1944)
Walter Lenneberg (born 1930, murdered in Auschwitz in 1944)
Julius Steinweg (born 1886, murdered in Auschwitz in 1943)
Margret Steinweg (born 1932, murdered in Auschwitz in 1943)
Marta Steinweg (born 1890, murdered in Auschwitz in 1943)

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 Dortmund (in German).
