Stumbling Stones Spitalgasse 4

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Dr. Moritz Baer (born 1877, escaped)
Sabine Levenbach (born 1876, murdered in Riga)
Meyer Levenbach (born 1876, murdered in Riga)
Else Lewy (born 1891, murdered in Riga)
Walter Lewy (born 1928, murdered in Riga)

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.
