Stumbling Stones Steinstraße 4

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Eugen Gaertner (fled out of Germany)
Helene Gaertner (fled out of Germany)
Hans Gaertner (fled out of Germany)
Elisabeth Gaertner (fled out of Germany)
Simon Gottlieb (born 1874, died 17-8-1932)
Henriette-Clara Gottlieb (born 1884, murdered)
Arnold Gottlieb (born 1907, fled out of Germany)
Rudolf Gottlieb (born 1912, fled out of Germany)

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 Braunschweig (in German).
