Stumbling Stones Frühlingstraße 29

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Emil Hilb (born 1884, murdered in Treblinka)
Elsbeth Oberdorfer (born 1900, murdered in Riga-Jungfernhof on 27-3-1942)
Ludwig Oberdorfer (born 1892, murdered in Riga-Jungfernhof on 27-3-1942)
Franz-Sepp Oberdorfer (born 1938, murdered in Riga-Jungfernhof on 27-3-1942)
Doris Rödelsheimer (born 1930, murdered in Riga-Jungfernhof on 27-3-1942)
Lise Rödelsheimer (born 1928, murdered in Riga-Jungfernhof on 27-3-1942)

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.
