Stumbling block in Grevenmacher

The list of stumbling blocks in Grevenmacher contains the stumbling blocks in the Luxembourg city ​​of Grevenmacher ( Luxembourgish Gréiwemaacher ). Stumbling blocks remind of the fate of the people who were murdered, deported, expelled or driven to suicide by the National Socialists . The Stolpersteine ​​were designed by the Cologne artist Gunter Demnig and are being laid by himself.

The stumbling blocks are usually in front of the last self-chosen place of residence of the victim. They are called Stolpersteng in Luxembourgish .
