Stumbling Stones Gneisenaustraße 18

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Heinz Wagener (born 1934, murdered in Minsk)
Therese Presser (born 1882, murdered in Auschwitz)
Salomon Presser (born 1909, murdered in Auschwitz)
Karl Presser (born 1911, murdered in Auschwitz)
Marianna Presser (born 1916, murdered in Auschwitz)
Herbert Wagener (born 1902, murdered in Minsk)
Therese Wagener (born 1896, murdered in Minsk)
Walter Wagener (born 1927, murdered in Minsk)

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.
