Stolpersteine are commemorative plaques set flush into the sidewalk and engraved by the Cologne artist Gunter Demnig. Stolpersteine have already been laid in Germany and 26 other European countries. They are part of the culture of remembrance in the district of Lichtenberg and commemorate the people and their original place of residence in the district before they were persecuted, murdered, deported, expelled or driven to suicide during the National Socialist era.
