List of stumbling blocks in Bolzano

Stumbling stone in Bolzano

The list of stumbling blocks in Bolzano contains the stumbling blocks in Bolzano ( South Tyrol ), which remind of the fate of the people who were murdered, deported, expelled or driven to suicide during the Nazi era . So far, the résumés of 17 families with 25 members who were temporarily in Bolzano at the time have been scientifically recorded. The Bolzano Stolpersteine ​​commemorate fifteen of these people. These were created by the artist Gunter Demnig on January 15, 2015 on the initiative of the Bolzano city administration and the Bolzano city archiveand published on the basis of personal historical research by historians Sabine Mayr and Hannes Obermair in the context of the 70th anniversary of the end of the war and liberation from National Socialism ( International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Holocaust ) in January 2015.

The 10 cm × 10 cm × 10 cm large concrete blocks with brass plaques are embedded in the sidewalk in front of the houses where the victims were once at home. The bilingual inscription ( Italian / German ) on the plaque provides information about their name, age and fate. The stumbling blocks are intended to counteract the oblivion of the victims of the National Socialist tyranny .

List of stumbling blocks

The inscriptions were engraved in two languages ​​(German / Italian). For the sake of readability, only the German version is reproduced here. The table is partially sortable; the basic sorting is done alphabetically according to the family name.
