Stumbling Stones Max-Friedrich-Straße 4

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Dr. Robert Wolfgang Blum (born 1883, died after imprisonment on 20-9-1941)
Luise Charlotte Blum (born 1895, escaped)
Liselotte Lina Blum (born 1920, escaped)
Hannelore Ida Blum (born 1934, escaped)
Stephanie Flesch (born 1872, escaped)
Friedrich “Fritz“ Jakob Blum (born 1889, escaped)

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.

For more information and pictures, please visit Stolpersteine Frankenthal (in German).
