Stolpersteine in Weingarten
The Stolpersteine in Weingarten lists all Stolpersteine that have been collocated in Weingarten in the very south of Germany. Stolpersteine is the German name for stumbling blocks collocated all over Europe by German artist Gunter Demnig. They remember the fate of the Nazi victims being murdered, deported, exiled or driven to suicide.
Generally, the stumbling blocks are posed in front of the building where the victims had their last self chosen residence. Stolperschwellen are much larger and they usually remember a group of victims.

Joachim Brunner was born in 1884. He originated from Bad Waldsee in the district Ravensburg. In 1912 he moved to Weingarten. He was trained as an ironworker but worked as a peddler. First he travelled with a bike, later on with a moped. He came around, knew a lot of people, discussed the state of the nation and exchanged news with other citizens critical to the Nazi regime. He was accused of undermining military morale and was arrested in 1943, kept imprisoned in Welzheim, deported to Dachau concentration camp in 1944 and murdered in Mauthausen concentration camp on 12 March 1945. Eight weeks later the Nazi regime perished.[1][2] |
