From one Stolperstein in Cologne, the project launched by Gunter Demnig developed into the largest decentralized memorial with more than 75,000 Stolpersteine throughout Europe. Together with the Stuttgart Stolperstein initiatives, Gunther Demnig has laid more than 900 Stolpersteine in Stuttgart from 2003 to the present day. In order to make these Stolpersteine not only visible, but also audible, the Stolpersteine Stuttgart-Ost initiative, together with the Akademie für gesprochenes Wort - Uta Kutter-Stiftung (Academy for the Spoken Word - Uta Kutter Foundation), is launching a project to set to music the moving biographies behind the Stolpersteine.
Under the title gedenkworte (words of remembrance), speakers from the Akademie für gesprochenes Wort (Academy for Spoken Word) will read the biographies that have emerged through the extensive research work of the volunteer members of the Stolpersteine Stuttgart-Ost initiative. This project is presented in the form of a regularly published podcast.
