In June 2007, these eleven brass stones were laid, they were the very first stumbling stones installed in Regensburg. The high number was necessary because the Nazi town administration had declared this house a "Jews’ House" (Judenhaus) in 1938. The new Nazi laws forced all Jews to sell their real estate to "Aryans", and thus, all those who had lost their homes or houses, now had to move to these new quarters from where many were deported. Professor Victor Klemperer, who wrote his famous diary during the Nazi era, gave an account of the Dresden Judenhaus where he was forced to live: "The Cohns, the Stühlers, and us. We share a bathroom and a toilet. The kitchen we share with the Stühlers, halfway divided – one water faucet for all three (families). It is almost like living in barracks, one stumbles across the other, chaos."

Eleven stones, eleven fates, six families.
