Stumbling Stones Schützenstraße 7

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Kurt Berendsohn (born 1889, faith unknown)
Hertha Berendsohn (born 1903, murdered in Ravensbrück on 12-5-1942)
Irmgard Zander (born 1924, faith unknown)
Adolfine Erika Zander (born 1927, faith unknown)
Helma Zander (born 1931, faith unknown)
Ruth Zander (born 1934, faith unknown)
Bernhard Berendsohn (born 1938, faith unknown)

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.
