Stumbling Stones Reuchlinstraße 9

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Ferdinand Fleischer (born 1907, murdered in Grafeneck on 20-5-1940)
Ludwig Fleischer (born 1916, murdered in Riga)
Moritz Fleischer (born 1872, murdered in Auschwitz)
Paula Fleischer (born 1913, murdered in Auschwitz)

The small brass 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 Stuttgart (in German).
