Stumbling blocks "Reinhold Rall" and "Anoni Midinski" in front of the Volksbank (Am Seltenbach 15)

The stumbling blocks in Tuttlingen are special paving stones in sidewalks that are intended to commemorate the victims of the National Socialist dictatorship in the city of Tuttlingen in the Baden-Württemberg district of Tuttlingen in Germany .

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.

At the end of 2014, the Tuttlingen municipal council agreed to have stumbling blocks laid in the city. Since relatively few Jews lived in Tuttlingen, the first phase was to remember people who were expelled from their homes by the euthanasia measures of the Nazis. In May 2016, Gunter Demnig laid the first stumbling blocks in Tuttlingen.
