Stumbling Block Laying is an important part of the culture of remembrance in Augsburg, where new memorial stones are laid to remember the victims of National Socialism. The event takes place at Neißestraße 6 and warmly invites the public to participate and honor the victims.
What are Stumbling Blocks?
Stumbling blocks are small memorial plaques embedded in the ground that commemorate the individuals who were persecuted and murdered during National Socialism. They were initiated as an art project by the German artist Gunter Demnig and are now widespread throughout Europe.
During the ceremony, information about the lives of the victims will be shared. It is an opportunity to engage with history and keep the memory alive. Many people gather to witness the laying of new stones, which are engraved with the names of the victims.
