List of stumbling blocks in Wurmannsquick
.jpg)
This list of stumbling blocks in Wurmannsquick contains the stumbling blocks that were laid as part of the art project of the same name by Gunter Demnig in Markt Wurmannsquick in Lower Bavaria . They are intended to commemorate the victims of National Socialism who lived and worked in Wurmannsquick.
So far, only one stumbling block has been laid in Wurmannsquick.
Stumbling blocks
A brass plaque is anchored on the top of the concrete cuboid with an edge length of ten centimeters, which provides information about the names, year of birth and fate of the people who are to be remembered. The stones are embedded in the sidewalk in front of the former homes of the victims of the National Socialist tyranny.
In May 2015, after consultation with relatives, a majority of the Wurmannsquick municipal council decided to set a stumbling block in memory of Wolfgang Kroll, who was murdered in the Auschwitz concentration camp, and to bear the costs. A year and a half later, Demnig laid the Stolperstein at the former Kroll family estate on Wurmannsquick's market square.
