Stumbling Stone Kolpinggasse 42

This brass plaque (Stolperstein or stumbling stone), placed on May 26, 2023, commemorates:
* GEORG WINTER (born 1907, member of the KPD, arrested in 1933, sentenced to 34 months in prison by a special court in Nuremberg for "preparing for high treason")

This Stolperstein lies here for a convicted resistance fighter.

"Stolpersteine” is an art project for Europe by Gunter Demnig to commemorate victims of National Socialism (Nazism). Stolpersteine (stumbling stones) are small, 10x10cm brass plaques placed in the sidewalk in front of the last voluntary residence of (usually Jewish) victims of the Nazis. Each plaque is provided with the victim’s, date of birth, and fate. By doing this, Gunter Demnig gives an individual memorial to each victim. One stone, one name, one person. He cites the Talmud: “A human being is forgotten only when his or her name is forgotten.”
