Sophie Berghausen
The Sophie Berghausen Stolperstein in Petershagen is a small memorial along Mindener Straße or Hauptstraße. A brass plate marks the concrete surface beneath passing feet. It commemorates a Jewish resident deported and murdered in a concentration camp during the Holocaust, connecting one life with Petershagen’s history.
The wider memorial initiative marks former homes of Jewish residents persecuted under the Nazi regime. The Arbeitsgemeinschaft Alte Synagoge Petershagen and artist Gunter Demnig shaped this local remembrance. Stones appeared in two phases across the old town, with students placing white roses during a community gathering. The wheelchair-accessible site leaves a ten-centimetre concrete block and its brass inscription at street level.
