Susi Schindel

The Susi Schindel Stolperstein in Frankfurt is a small brass plaque set into the pavement. This memorial carries Susi Schindel’s name and marks her last voluntary residence.

Stolpersteine form an art project initiated by artist Gunter Demnig, with each plaque preserving an individual history. Each stone commemorates people persecuted under National Socialism through a name, a life story, and a place.

Susi Schindel was born in 1927 and escaped to England through a Kindertransport in 1939. Her Kindertransport links Frankfurt with the history of the Holocaust.

The plaque belongs to a wider European project that places personal memorials in streets where people once lived. The Schindel family’s story remains part of Frankfurt’s historical landscape.

Susi’s name gives this brass marker its individual focus. The surrounding pavement connects one family’s experience with the city’s history.

These memorial stones keep persecuted people visible within everyday urban spaces. Susi Schindel’s plaque brings remembrance into Frankfurt’s streets.

The memorial also reflects the project’s aim to preserve names and stories through public places. Its brass surface offers a quiet point of connection between past lives and the present.
