List of stumbling blocks in Vöhringen (Iller)

In the list of the stumbling blocks in Vöhringen in are Vöhringen (Iller) existing previously stumbling blocks listed (as of end 2016). 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 Vöhringen and were deported by the National Socialists and murdered in concentration and extermination camps , among others .

On September 10, 2013, the first 17 stumbling blocks were laid in Vöhringen with the support of the city of Vöhringen. They are dedicated to the relatives of the two brothers Johannes and Richard Eckstein, who belonged to the Sinti and Roma ethnic group . At the beginning of March 1943, 16 members of the Eckstein family were deported from Vöhringen to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp and interned in the local gypsy camp; most of them were murdered there. The initiative to lay the stumbling blocks came from Rolf Eckstein, a relative of the murdered woman.

Another stumbling block was laid for Karl Baur, a Jehovah's Witness , at a later date. Due to the refused consent of her bereaved relatives, no stumbling block could be laid for Ludiwika Saurwein from Illerzeller Strasse 34 contrary to the original plan.

This list contains the address of the Stolperstein, the name of the Nazi victim, some biographical information and - if available - a photo of the Stolperstein.
