Stumbling blocks in Singen (Hohentwiel)
The Stolpersteine in Singen (Hohentwiel) are special paving stones in sidewalks that are supposed to commemorate the victims of the National Socialist dictatorship in the Baden-Württemberg town of Singen (Hohentwiel) in the district of Konstanz in Germany .
There were around 170 victims of the Nazi dictatorship in Singen.
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 .
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 61,000 stones (as of July 2017) not only in Germany, but also in 21 other European countries. The Stolpersteine are the largest decentralized memorial in the world.
In July 2010, Gunter Demnig laid the first stumbling blocks in Singen. 80 stones have now been laid on the sidewalks of Singen.
Note: The date under the respective picture indicates when the stone was laid.
