Stumbling Stones Am Markt 5

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine or stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Julius Meyer
Anna Meyer
Erich Meyer
Hans Arnold Meyer
Hilde Meyer
Johanna Meyer
Jonathan Meyer
Dr. Moritz Weinberg
Edith Weinberg
Erich Weinberg
Fritz Weinberg
, 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.
