In conjunction with the "Stolpersteine" (stumbling stones) memorial project, we aim to digitally support the remembrance of the victims of National Socialism. To this end, we use and compile publicly available data from the online encyclopedia Wikipedia and OpenStreetMap. The personal stories and fates are thus made directly accessible at the locations in Germany where they were written. There were already 20,000 Stolpersteine when the app was launched in November 2022. Now there are over 39,000, which we regularly update.
Stolpersteine Germany is largely barrier-free and can be used by people with significant visual impairments and limited motor skills. The app was developed by us on our own initiative without any tax or donation funding.
The world's largest decentralized memorial
"A person is only forgotten when their name is forgotten," Gunter Demnig quotes from the Talmud.
To commemorate the victims of the Nazi era, the artist embeds small brass memorial plaques in the sidewalk in front of their last chosen place of residence or work. Demnig began with the first Stolperstein (stumbling stone) in 1992; now there are more than 100,000 in over 1,800 German municipalities and 30 other countries. The art project is considered the world's largest decentralized memorial and focuses attention on the people who were persecuted, murdered, deported, or expelled during the Nazi regime.
