Stumbling Stones Ederstraße 5

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Hildegard Zimmer (born 1928, escaped)
Julius Krebs (born 1893, escaped)
Lina Krebs (born 1902, escaped)
Lucie Weinstein (born 1924, escaped)
Paul Krebs (born 1928, escaped)

The small brass plaques, in the pavement in front of houses of which the (mostly Jewish) residents were persecuted or 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.
