Stumbling Stones Am Wienebütteler Weg 1

These small, brass memorial plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones) commemorate:

- Heinrich Biester, born 1901, murdered 21 May 1941, Action T-4.
- Edeltraud Wölki, born 1937, dead May 1943.
- Bernhard Filusch, born 1941, dead June 1942.
- Charlotte Regenthal, born 1939, murdered14.12.1944.
- Dieter Lorenz, born 1842, murdered 14 December 1944.

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.
