List of stumbling blocks in Dachau
This list of stumbling blocks in Dachau contains the stumbling blocks that were laid by Gunter Demnig in the Upper Bavarian town of Dachau as part of the art project of the same name . They are intended to commemorate the victims of National Socialism who lived and worked in Dachau.
A brass plaque is anchored on the top of the concrete cuboid with an edge length of ten centimeters, which provides information about the names, year of birth and fate of the people who are to be remembered. The stones are embedded in the sidewalk in front of the former homes of the victims of the National Socialist tyranny.
Demnig moved the first six stumbling blocks in memory of the Dachau people who were murdered in the Holocaust in 2005. In 2014, four stumbling blocks were added for people with other persecution backgrounds. In 2017, the city of Dachau had five more stumbling blocks "laid in memory of victims of the Nazi regime. These include, for the first time, disabled people who were murdered in" Operation T4 "by the Nazis. The stumbling blocks were each accompanied by commemorative events.
