Guided Story

Imagine you're walking down the street, and something small yet significant catches your eye. Look down at the ground in front of you. These brass plaques, the Stolpersteine, tell the story of the Schloß family. They lived right here, until their lives were violently cut short by the Nazi regime. Turn slightly to your right, and you can almost picture the family coming and going from their home. Each stone represents a family member who never returned. It's like the stones are whispering, 'Don't forget us.' Just a few steps northeast, you'll find the Elise Ney monument. Perhaps now you feel the weight of history even more, as this place is more than just a path.
