Stumbling stone for Therese Wallner in front of the town hall

The list of stumbling blocks in Schierling contains the stumbling blocks that were laid by the Cologne artist Gunter Demnig in Markt Schierling in Upper Palatinate . Stumbling blocks remind of the fate of the people who were murdered, deported, expelled or driven to suicide by the National Socialists . As a rule, they are in front of the victim's last self-chosen place of residence.

The stone for Therese Wallner was the first stumbling block to be laid in the Regensburg district and the first stumbling block for a euthanasia victim .
