List of stumbling blocks in Estenfeld

Memorial plaque for the former Jewish religious community and memorial stele for the deported families

This list of stumbling blocks in Estenfeld contains the stumbling blocks that were laid by Gunter Demnig in the Lower Franconian municipality of Estenfeld as part of the art project of the same name . A brass plaque is anchored on the top of the concrete cuboid with an edge length of ten centimeters, which gives 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. They are intended to commemorate the victims of National Socialism who lived and worked in Estenfeld. The eleven stumbling blocks in Estenfeld were set on September 23, 2007. This date is based on the 65th anniversary of the last deportation from Würzburg, in which Jews from Estenfeld were involved.

The stumbling blocks were laid together with the unveiling of a memorial stele for the members of the Jewish families Birn, Löwenthal and Meyer who were deported from Estenfeld. Above the names of the families, three heads can be seen in a barred window hatch of a deportation transport wagon, underneath a broken seven-armed candlestick is depicted. The impetus for the erection of the memorial stele on the square of the former synagogue was given by the former local councilor Christian Will , who was a member of the Bavarian state parliament from 1970 to 1994 . The Kürnachtal secondary school in Estenfeld, especially the 8th grade, decided to help shape the laying of the Stolperstein as a contribution to the memory of the murdered Jewish fellow citizens. The memory of the fate of the Jewish families who lived in Estenfeld is kept alive through irregular publications in local media.

When researching the stumbling blocks in Estenfeld, there were individual errors. According to research by Elisabeth Böhrer, Ida Jette Birn, born Rosenthal on March 29, 1897 in Konstanz, married her husband Siegfried on February 23, 1942, and never lived in Estenfeld. Siegfried Birn moved from the Jewish hospital in Mannheim to Konstanz on November 21, 1940. The couple were deported to the Izbica ghetto on April 24, 1942. A stumbling block was created for Ida Jette Birn born. Rosenthal relocated to Constance. Babette Meyer b. Ernstthal (born 1892) died of natural causes in Würzburg and was not deported to the Theresienstadt ghetto. The reason for the mix-up was probably due to the transfer of the life data of another woman Babette Mayer (born 1892, no maiden name).
