Fritz Oppenheim
Fritz Oppenheim is a wheelchair-accessible Stolperstein in Petershagen’s old town, among memorial stones commemorating Jewish residents persecuted under the Nazi regime. A ten-centimetre concrete block carries a brass plate recording the name and fate of a person deported and murdered during the Holocaust.
Artist Gunter Demnig created the Stolpersteine project to keep victims’ memories present in everyday streets. In Petershagen, the Arbeitsgemeinschaft „Alte Synagoge Petershagen“ led the work, with four stones on Mindener Straße and six on Hauptstraße. More stones followed the first installation, and a laying ceremony drew more than sixty people from the community. The wider project extends across Germany and Europe, linking individual lives with the history of persecution, loss and remembrance.
The small brass plate brings a personal story into the pavement beneath your feet.
