began in 2003 and has since then laid ca. 400 Stolpersteine. Several groups of people research the fate of the victims, ask for support from institutions of the various city districts, coordinate the laying of the stones and the accompanying activities, and inform the public of the activities. It is a special wish of the initiative to come into contact with the descendants and the relatives of the victims.

The City of Frankfurt am Main embraces this initiative. Many institutions support them. Amongst these are The Jewish Museum, The Bureau for Science and Art, and The Institute for City History. Schools, church parishes, and various other associations are involved and take an active part in the laying of the stones. The life stories of the people for whom stones are laid appear in a yearly documentation.

Thus far Stolpersteine have been laid in the following Frankfurt am Main city districts: Altstadt, Bahnhofsviertel, Bergen-Enkheim, Bockenheim, Bornheim, Dornbusch, Escherheim, Ginnheim, Heddernheim, Höchst, Innenstadt, Nordend, Ostend, Rödelheim, Praunheim, Westend
