1. Balduinstrasse Marker
In der Zeit Napoleons als "Kleine Judenstrasse" bezeichnet, war sie die Wohn- und Geschäftsstraße Koblenzer jüdischer Einwohner, in der es auch eine Synagoge und eine Schule gab. Bis 1942 lebten in der Straße noch Viele von ihnen, zuletzt in zwei sogenannten "Judenhäusern", bis sie zur Ermordung in die Vernichtungslager der NS-Diktatur deportiert wurden. Nur noch sieben Stolpersteine der Schuhhausbesitzer Bernd erinnern heute an sie.
In den Jahren 1970-73 verliert sich durch Neubauten die Spur der Straße.
Wir wollen dies nicht vergessen.

Balduinstrasse once ran here, connecting Görgenstrasse and Casinostrasse.
Known as “Little Jewish Street” during Napoleon’s time, it was a residential and commercial street for Koblenz’s Jewish inhabitants, with a synagogue and a school. Many still lived here until 1942, finally confined to two so-called “Jewish houses,” before being deported to the Nazi dictatorship’s extermination camps to be murdered. Today, only seven Stolpersteine commemorating the Bernd shoe-store owners remain as reminders of them.
Between 1970 and 1973, new construction erased the traces of the street.
We do not want this to be forgotten.
