Explanation
In many German cities, small brass plaques can be found in the sidewalk in front of residential buildings. These stones bear names, dates of life and brief information about people who used to live there. The project was initiated by the artist Gunter Demnig and has a special historical significance. Anyone who "stumbles" over this should consciously remember certain chapters of German history and think about the fate of these people.
