Stolpersteine - Naunhof

*** English listing below* **

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Der Künstler Gunter Demnig erinnert an die Opfer der NS-Zeit, indem er vor ihrem letzten
selbstgewählten Wohnort Gedenktafeln aus Messing ins Trottoir einlässt. Inzwischen liegen
116.000 STOLPERSTEINE in über 1860 Kommunen in 31 europäischen Ländern.
Mit den Steinen vor den Häusern wird die Erinnerung an die Menschen lebendig, die einst
hier wohnten. Auf den Steinen steht geschrieben: HIER WOHNTE...
Ein Stein. Ein Name. Ein Mensch."
->Internetseite des Stolpersteinprojektes

Mit diesem Cache möchte ich euch auf eine kleine Erinnerungsreise mitnehmen. Wie überall in Deutschland, so lebten auch hier in Naunhof einst jüdische Mitbürger. An deren Schicksale erinnern die Stolpersteine. Zur Zeit sind dies 6 Stolpersteine, vielleicht kommen noch weitere hinzu und ich werde den Cache dann entsprechend anpassen..

Mein Dank gilt den Schülern des Freien Gymnasiums Naunhof, welche in Projektarbeiten im Zuge des Geschichtsunterrichtes das Schicksal der Juden für die die 6 Stolpersteine verlegt wurden recherchiert haben.
Außerdem gilt mein Dank dem Verein "Erich-Zeigner-Haus" in Leipzig, welcher sich -unter anderem- auch für das Projekt der Stolpersteine engangiert.

***English description***

The artist Gunter Demnig commemorates the victims of the Nazi era by embedding brass memorial plaques in the pavement in front of their last self-chosen place of residence. There are now 116,000 "STOLPERSTEINE" (stumbling stones) in over 1,860 municipalities in 31 European countries.

The stones in front of the houses bring to life the memory of the people who once lived there. The stones bear the inscription: HERE LIVED...One stone. One name. One person."

With this cache, I would like to take you on a little journey down memory lane. As everywhere else in Germany, Jewish citizens once lived here in Naunhof. The Stolpersteine commemorate their fates. There are currently 6 Stolpersteine, but more may be added, in which case I will update the cache accordingly.

The starting coordinates refer to the market square in Naunhof. Here you will search for two stumbling stones; this is station 1.

What is the middle name of the Jew who fled to France? The number of letters is B. In what year was he born? This number is A. Add up the years (excluding 19xx) noted on Mosey Witensohn's stumbling block. This is C. In which month was he admitted? This is D.

Now you have to do some calculations to get to station 2:

N51° 16.(A-1284+B) E012° 35.(285+[C-D+202]).

When you arrive at station 2, you will find a stumbling block. How old was Marie Mindel? This is the number E.

Now you have to rack your brains again to get to station 3: N51° 16.(512+E)E012° 35.380.

At Station 3, you are standing in front of a house and the stumbling stone for Arthur Alfred Kieschnick. When was he born (year)? This number is F and the house number you are now standing in front of is G.

N51° G(-1).317 E012° 35.(F-1398) takes you to the next stumbling stone station.

Station 4, here you will find the stumbling stone for Robert Arthur Niesar. Where was he born? The number of letters in the place of birth is H. With N51° 16.4(48+H)′ E012° 35.3(H-1)(H-6)′ H you will find the last stumbling stone of the tour.

The last Stolperstein of the tour is Station 5. It is dedicated to Frida Ida Quaas. Calculate the sum of the digits of the date of installation or murder. This is variable I. To get to the last stop, solve the following problem: N51° 17.4(118-I)′ E012° 35.4(I+13)′.

When you have found the last stop, you will see a sign. On it you will see a ‘correct’ number and a ‘word number’. Calculate the sum of all numbers (convert one number logically).

Now you can find the cache by walking from here in the direction of 310° true north for the cross sum you just calculated + 66 metres.

My thanks go to the students of the Freies Gymnasium Naunhof, who researched the fate of the Jews for whom the six stumbling stones were laid as part of a history project.

I would also like to thank the Erich Zeigner House Association in Leipzig, which is involved in the stumbling stones project, among other things.
