The stumbling threshold, designed by Gunter Demnig, was established on June 7, 2024, to honor homosexual victims. It marks the persecution and suffering of gay men during the Nazi regime at Bochum's regional court, where many began their tragic journey. The brass inscription recounts exclusion, denunciation, and sentencing.
