List of stumbling blocks in Neu-Ulm
The list of stumbling blocks in Neu-Ulm lists the stumbling blocks that have existed in Neu-Ulm so far (as of August 2019). They are part of the Europe-wide project “Stolpersteine” by the Cologne artist Gunter Demnig . These are decentralized memorials , which are supposed to remember the fate of those people who lived in Neu-Ulm and were deported by the National Socialists and murdered in concentration and extermination camps , among other places .
The first ten stumbling blocks were laid in Neu-Ulm on September 14, 2015. All Neu-Ulm stumbling blocks are dedicated to former Jewish fellow citizens. Pupils in the 9th grade of the Inge-Aicher-Scholl-Realschule and the Christoph-Probst-Realschule with their teachers as well as an interested citizen researched the biographies of the Nazi victims in advance with the support of the Neu-Ulm city administration. All stumbling blocks were donated in 2015 by Neu-Ulm city councils from private funds. The city of Neu-Ulm financed the necessary road works.
On October 29, 2016 another 5 stumbling blocks were laid. Demnig laid another 8 stumbling blocks on October 12, 2017. On April 2, 2019, 6 stumbling blocks were laid in Neu-Ulm.
The list contains the address of the respective stumbling block, the name of the Nazi victim, some biographical information and - if available - a picture of the stumbling block. Detailed descriptions of the individual fates are linked to the respective persons and can be called up by clicking on the word "Biography".
