Stumbling Stones Querweingasse 5

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Josef Döllefeld (born 1864, murdered in Theresienstadt on 4-12-1942)
Alexander Döllefeld (born 1891, murdered in Sobibor on 28-5-1943)
Recha Döllefeld (born 1895, murdered in Sobibor on 28-5-1943)
Rosa Döllefeld (born 1894, shot by the SS in Neustadt/Holstein on 3-5-1945)

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, 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.
