List of stumbling blocks in Aachen

The Stolpersteine ​​campaign by the artist Gunter Demnig aroused great interest in Aachen in 2008 . The City Council of Aachen decided to honor the memory of former citizens who were deported, murdered or forced to flee from Germany in the Third Reich with such a memorial stone. These small brass cuboids with the engraving of the name, the dates of life and the fate are located in front of the last vacant house of the person concerned and were put into the sidewalk by the artist himself.

In this campaign, which has existed in more than 300 towns in Germany, Austria, Hungary and the Netherlands since 2003, in Aachen, under the overall organizational management of the Volkshochschule Aachen, a number of private individuals and the memorial book project, in particular, many schools in Aachen took part. As part of their lesson plan, they researched the life stories of the people affected, made contacts with survivors and, last but not least, donated the costs of currently 120 euros per stone from the proceeds of the so-called “peace runs”. In addition, some schools and clubs sponsored selected stumbling blocks.

Since 2008, 66 stumbling blocks have been laid at 39 addresses on the following eight dates:

• January 16, 2008: nine stones at five addresses
• June 15, 2009: fourteen stones at five addresses
• December 3, 2010: a stone to an address
• October 18, 2011: two stones to one address
• December 17, 2012: seven stones at five addresses
• June 15, 2016: eighteen stones at nine addresses
• February 1, 2018: eight stones at two addresses
• February 6, 2019: seven stones at seven addresses

The people who have been honored with stumbling blocks so far include Jews or people of Jewish descent as well as two politically persecuted persons and a disabled child.
