These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones), laid on 21 May 2025, commemorate:

* PHILIP NORTHEIMER (born 1883, deported 12 October 1942, murdered 22 October 1942 Auschwitz)
* DINA NORTHEIMER (born 1886, deported 10 April 1943, murdered 14 May 1943 in Sobibor)
* DAVID NORTHEIMER (born 1888, deported 10 April 1943, murdered 28 May 1943 in Sobibor)

These Stolpersteine are laid here for Jewish war victims who were persecuted, deported and murdered during the Second World War.

‘Stolpersteine’ is an art project in Europe by Gunter Demnig to commemorate victims of National Socialism (Nazism).
Stolpersteine (stumbling stones) are small, 10x10cm brass plaques placed in the pavement in front of the former residences of (mostly Jewish) victims of the Nazis. Each plaque bears the name of the victim, their date of birth and their fate. In this way, Gunter Demnig gives each victim an individual memorial. One stone, one name, one person. He quotes the Talmud: ‘A person is only forgotten when their name is forgotten.’
