Adolf Rosentreter

This memorial commemorates Adolf Rosentreter, who was born in 1898. It marks his former residence in Berlin before he was deported on 19th October 1942. The inscription notes his destination as Riga and states that he was murdered. These small, brass-plated stones serve as a permanent reminder of individuals who suffered during a dark period of history, placed directly into the pavement outside their last known freely chosen home.
The memorial is a 'Stolperstein', part of a widespread European art project designed to commemorate victims of Nazi persecution. These stones are installed in the pavement, marking the last known address of the individual before their persecution. Each stone, set flush with the ground, invites passers-by to pause and reflect, creating a decentralised and accessible form of remembrance that extends throughout many communities.
This memorial is a Stolperstein, found in Berlin. Visitors will encounter a small, brass plaque set into the pavement, intended to be walked past as part of the public thoroughfare. It is located at the address where Adolf Rosentreter once lived, inviting quiet contemplation in a public space. There are no specific visiting hours, as it is always accessible on the street.
