Stumbling Töpfermarkt 5

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Albert Mathias (born 1873, murdered in Treblinka in 1942)
Bienchen Mathias (born 1873, murdered in Treblinka in 1942)
Edith Mathias (born 1913, faith unknown)
Elsa Machol (born 1910, faith unknown)
Grete Mathias (born 1907, 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.
