Stumbling Stones Schloßstraße 28-30

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Walter Mayer (born 1884, faith unknown)
Frieda Mayer (born 1888, faith unknown)
Kurt Mayer (born 1926, faith unknown)
Georgine Mayer-Becht (born 1869) 1942 deported to Theresienstadt and murdered there on 46-12-1942.

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.
