Stumbling Stone Jakobsplatz 7

This brass plaque (Stolperstein or stumbling stone) commemorates:
* KARL FREIHERR VON THÜNGEN (born 1893, arrested in the resistance in 1944, Brandenburg Prison, shot on October 24, 1944)

This Stolperstein lies here for a German general who was executed in 1944 after the failed plot of July 20th.

"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.”
