Stumbling Stones Pferdmengesstraße 15

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Julius Pagener (born 1875, escaped to Palestine in 1938)
Martha Pagener (born 1888, escaped to Palestine in 1938)
Hans Werner Pagener (born 1911, escaped to Palestine in 1938)
Erich Pagener (born 1917, escaped to Palestine in 1938)
Anneliese Pagener (born 1922,escaped to Palestine in 1938)

The small copper plaques, in the pavement in front of houses of which the (mostly Jewish) residents were murdered by the Nazis, mention the name, date of birth and place (mostly a concentration camp) and date of death.

In many other cities, mainly in Germany but also in other European countries, the memorials also can be found. There are already many thousands of these plaques and their number is still counting. Almost all Stolpersteine are laid by the German artist himself, Gunter Demnig.

For more information and pictures, please visit Stolpersteine in Cologne (in German).
