Luise Lepman
Luise Lepman stands in Stuttgart as a Stolperstein set into the pavement, connecting an ordinary street with Nazi persecution. The small concrete cube carries a brass plate with her name and life dates. Its position recalls the people who lived and worked in these surroundings before the Nazi regime persecuted them. The stone meets the pavement flush.
Gunter Demnig began the Stolpersteine project in 1992 to commemorate people targeted by Nazi terror. Jewish people, Sinti and Roma, political dissidents, homosexuals, and disabled people all belong among those remembered. Each handcrafted stone marks a last freely chosen residence or workplace, creating a decentralised memorial across Europe. Its brass surface brings one individual memory into everyday view.
