Stumbling Stones Bahnhofstraße 11

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine or stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Thea Gärtner (born 1907, murdered in Minsk)
Herbert Gärtner (born 1911, murdered in Minsk)
Otto Gärtner (born 1914, murdered in Minsk)
Jenny Gärtner (born 1882, murdered in Minsk)
Max Gärtner (born 1877, murdered in Minsk)
, persecuted or murdered by the Nazis.

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 and villages, 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.
