Stumbling Stones Geislingerstraße 6

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Wilhelm Fleissig (born 1906, murdered in Riga-Jungfernhof)
Jenny Hirschhahn (born 1883, murdered in Riga-Jungfernhof)
Hannacha Schwab (born 1941, murdered in Lublin)
Marianne Schwab (born 1921, murdered in Lublin)
Max Schwab (born 1909, murdered in Lublin)

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.
