List of stumbling blocks in Osnabrück
Stolpersteine in Osnabrück are special paving stones in the sidewalks , which are supposed to remind of the victims of the National Socialist dictatorship in Osnabrück.
history
In December 2006, the Council of Osnabrück took the idea of the Cologne artist Gunter Demnig , the stumbling blocks to relocate to the victims of the Nazi dictatorship to remember. The stones with a brass plate are laid as a memorial. Pedestrians should symbolically trip over the stones that are worked into the pavement at ground level and provided with an inscription. The names of the respective persons or the group of persons or the family are engraved in the brass plates and are intended to remind of the victims' personalities. The stumbling blocks are let into the sidewalks in front of their former homes or workplaces.
The project has been implemented in Osnabrück since November 2007. By March 2013, 192 stumbling blocks had been laid. They are distributed over the entire city area. On October 8, 2008, the documentary Stolpersteine was shown at the Osnabrück Film Festival .
