The stumbling threshold by Gunter Demnig commemorates the founding of the German Society for Trauma Surgery on September 23, 1923, and honors the 36 Jewish members who suffered the revocation of their promotion, approval, or health insurance license between 1933 and 1945, were forced into exile, or driven to death. This brass memorial stands as a reminder against forgetting and to remember the victims of the Nazi era.
