Stumbling blocks

The Stolpersteine are a project by the artist Gunter Demnig . These small memorial plaques are intended to commemorate the fate of the people who were murdered, deported , expelled or driven to suicide during National Socialism .

The stumbling blocks are cubic concrete blocks with an edge length of ten centimeters, on the top of which there is an individually labeled brass plate . As a rule, they are set into the pavement at the same level in front of the last freely chosen houses of the Nazi victims . There are now over 56,000 stones (as of December 2015) not only in Germany, but also in 18 other European countries. The Stolpersteine ​​are the largest decentralized memorial in the world.
