Stumbling Stones Münsterstraße 61

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Alfred Gumprich (born 1901)
Siegfried Löwenstein (born 1906, murdered in Sobibor on 30-4-1943)
Hans Löwenstein (born 1921, survived)
Marianne Löwenstein (born 1926, murdered in Stutthof on 1-10-1944)
Martha Löwenstein (born 1898, murdered in Sobibor on 30-4-1943)
Moritz Löwenstein (born 1888, murdered in Stutthof on 1-10-1944)

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.
