Stumbling Stones Maximilianstraße 16

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Alice Brandis (born 1900, murdered in Piaski)
Karl Brandis (born 1980, murdered in Piaski)
Charlotte Brandis (born 1924, murdered in Piaski)
Werner Brandis (born 1926, murdered in Piaski)
Rudolf Brandis (born 1927, murdered in Piaski)
Paul Brandis (born 1929, murdered in Piaski)
Gisela Holzinger (born 1878, murdered in Piaski)

The small brass plaques, in the pavement in front of houses of which the (mostly Jewish) residents were persecuted or 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.
