Stumbling Stones Ostenhellweg 41

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Walter Friede (born 1885, murdered)
Martha Friede (born 1895, murdered in Stutthof on 18-12-1944)
Ernst Friede (born 1923, fled out of Germany)
Kläre Friede (born 1924, murdered in Stutthof)
Julius Nussbaum (born 1886, murdered)
Meta Nussbaum (born 1888, murdered)
Günter Nussbaum (born 1924, murdered)
Margot Nussbaum (born 1929, fled out of Germany)

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).
