Description
Small commemorative plaques, so-called stumbling blocks, are placed in the ground over the Cologne city area. These small memorials are being moved precisely in the places where people have lived before fleeing or being arrested by the terror of National Socialism. They remind us of deported and murdered Jewish people, Sinti and Roma, politically persecuted, homosexuals, forced labourers, Jehovah’s Witnesses and victims of euthanasia. Since 1990, the artist Gunter Demnig has been developing the project and more than 2,400 stumbling blocks have been laid throughout the city of Cologne. On the homepage you can see the location of the stones and can, for example, search for names and specific addresses.
