Guided Story
As you walk along the path, your eyes catch a small, shining brass square embedded in the sidewalk. These Stolpersteine tell stories often hidden in the shadows of history. Look down and you'll see the name A. Wollschläger, etched with care. Nearby, you might hear the rustling leaves from the trees at the Thüringer Güterbahnhof or the bells of the Johanneskirche. These small plaques are more than just brass in the pavement. They are silent witnesses of the past, reminding us of lives abruptly ended by the Nazi regime. Each stone is a fragment of an enforced absence, waiting for you to notice.
