Stumbling Stones Burgstraße 16

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Erich Banemann (born 1922, murdered in Riga)
Inge Banemann (born 1930, murdered in Riga)
Hedwig Banemann (born 1890, murdered in Riga)
Stefan Banemann (born 1891, murdered in Riga)

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.
