Stumbling Stones Burgstraße 34

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine or stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Heinrich Benedick (born 1885, murdered in Riga)
Flora Benedick (born 1897, murdered on 03-06-1942)
Lothar Leopold (born 1923, murdered on 03-06-1942)
Mayer Gotthelf (born 1890, murdered)
Regina Gotthelf (born 1892, murdered)
Moritz Scheuer (born 1896, murdered in 1945)
Ludwig Scheuer (born 1899)
Lina Caroline Stern (born 1889, murdered on 01-10-1940)
Samuel Scheuer (born 1856)
, persecuted or murdered by the Nazis.

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 and villages, 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.
