Stumbling Stones Wiesenstraße 28

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Benjamin Berlinger (born 1886, murdered in Warschau)
Frieda Berlinger (born 1888, murdered in Warschau)
Manfred Berlinger (born 1925, murdered in Warschau)
Rosa Berlinger (born 1850, murdered in Theresienstadt on 8-8-1942)
Siegfried Berlinger (born 1920, murdered in Warschau)

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.
