Stumbling Stones Zwinger 28

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Therese Aumann (born 1882, murdered in Majdanek)
Friedrich Leopold Krieger (born 1889, murdered in Riga in 1941)
Klara Krieger (born 1900, murdered in Riga in 1941)
Manfred Krieger (born 1931, murdered in Riga in 1941)
Jenny Wechsler (born 1901, suicide on 10-2-1939)

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.
