Stolpersteine in the district of Braunau am Inn Stolpersteine in the district of Braunau am Inn The Stolpersteine in the district of Braunau am Inn are small, cobble stone-sized memorials to the former residents of the district who perished at the hands of the Nazis during the Third Reich. Conceived and installed by Cologne artist Gunter Demnig, they were set in the pavement at various locations between August 11–12, 2006. Demnig has laid over 20,000 Stolpersteine since 1996. The 11 Stolpersteine in the district Braunau am Inn are in eight different municipalities. The former "Heimatgau des Führers" (Adolf Hitler's birthplace) was the first area to receive its Stolpersteine.
