Wolfgang Frankenberg

Wolfgang Frankenberg is recorded as a historical spot in Petershagen, Germany, connected with the town's Stolpersteine memorials. The memorial includes a small concrete block with a brass plate.

These pavement stones remember Jewish residents whom the Nazi regime deported and murdered. Each Stolperstein carries one person's name in brass. In Petershagen, the memorial stones preserve names connected with the former Jewish community and its homes. The Frankenberg family appears among the people remembered here.

That group includes Wolfgang Frankenberg, whose name gives this spot its recorded identity. Brass names meet the ordinary pavement of Petershagen. An initiative involving the Alte Synagoge Petershagen working group helped preserve this local history. Students and local residents joined remembrance ceremonies in Petershagen.

The wider project, initiated by artist Gunter Demnig, places these memorials in pavements across the town centre. The project links a last voluntary residence with a personal name and the memory of Jewish life. This spot is recorded as wheelchair accessible.
