List of stumbling blocks in the Cologne district of Klettenberg
The list of the stumbling blocks in the district of Cologne Klettenberg results by artist Gunter Demnig laid stumbling blocks in the Cologne district Klettenberg on.
The list of stumbling blocks is based on the data and research of the NS Documentation Center of the City of Cologne , partially supplemented by information and comments from Wikipedia articles and external sources. The aim of the art project is to document biographical details of the people who had their (last) voluntarily chosen residence in Cologne in order to preserve their memory.
- Note: In many cases, however, it is no longer possible to comprehend a complete description of their life and their path of suffering. In particular, the circumstances of her death can often no longer be researched. Official death notices from ghettos, detention centers, hospitals and concentration camps can often contain information that conceals the true circumstances of death, but are also documented taking this fact into account.

Lohrbergstrasse 27 ( location ) |
The Stolperstein, which was laid on September 1, 2014, commemorates Peter Max Blank , born on December 21, 1920 in Cologne.
Peter Max Blank was the youngest son of Walter Blank and his wife Martha, geb. Herzstein (1891-1935). From 1926 he first attended the Catholic elementary school and in 1930 switched to the Cologne-Lindenthal high school , which he had to leave after the Nazis came to power due to his Jewish descent . Together with his father and brother, he fled to Brussels in April 1936 to the family of his aunt Anna Neubeck. After his father and older brother went to the International Brigades in Spain in 1937 , he stayed in Antwerp and became a member of a youth organization for émigré children. After the occupation of Belgium he was arrested and - like his brother - interned in the Gurs camp. Here he came into contact with fighters of the French Resistance who gave him a false identity. After two failed escape attempts, he was deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau at the end of 1942 . He was later deported to the Warsaw concentration camp , where he had to do forced labor . In July 1944 the concentration camp was evacuated before the advancing Red Army and the prisoners were sent on a death march west. He took several detours with a transport to Dachau , where he was liberated by the Americans on May 1, 1945 . First he returned to France. After meeting his wife in Paris, he returned to Cologne at the end of 1946. Here he worked as a journalist and documentary filmmaker. In Cologne, he and his brother campaigned for the return of his parents' collection of paintings. Except for a few works, u. a. Heinrich Hoerle's monument to the unknown prostheses and Franz Wilhelm Seiwert's discussion , the works remained lost. Peter Max Blank died in Mettmann in 2006 .
