Stumbling Stones Schloßstraße 14

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Hannelore Präger (born 1928, survived Auschwitz)
Herbert Präger (born 1923, survived Auschwitz)
Johanna Präger (born 1898, murdered in Auschwitz)
Max Präger (born 1893, murdered in Auschwitz)
Rolf Leo Goldschmidt (born 1926, murdered in Auschwitz)
Sally Stiefel (born 1896, murdered in Theresienstadt)
Ursula Präger (born 1930, murdered in Auschwitz)

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.
