A Stolperstein literally "stumbling stone", metaphorically a "stumbling block" is a sett-size, 10 by 10 centimetres (3.9 in × 3.9 in) concrete cube bearing a brass plate inscribed with the name and life dates of victims of Nazi extermination or persecution.

The Stolpersteine project, initiated by the German artist Gunter Demnig in 1992, aims to commemorate individuals at exactly the last place of residency—or, sometimes, work—which was freely chosen by the person before he or she fell victim to Nazi terror, euthanasia, eugenics, was deported to a concentration or extermination camp, or escaped persecution by emigration or suicide. As of 29 March 2018, over 67,000 Stolpersteine have been laid in 22 countries, making the Stolpersteine project the world's largest decentralized memorial.

The majority of Stolpersteine commemorate Jewish victims of the Holocaust. Others have been placed for Sinti and Romani people (then also called "gypsies"), homosexuals, the physically or mentally disabled, Jehovah's Witnesses, black people, members of the Communist Party, the Social Democratic Party, and the anti-Nazi Resistance, the Christian opposition (both Protestants and Catholics), and Freemasons, along with International Brigade soldiers in the Spanish Civil War, military deserters, conscientious objectors, escape helpers, capitulators, "habitual criminals", looters, and others charged with treason, military disobedience, or undermining the Nazi military, as well as Allied soldiers.

Rue Neuve 27: LAURENT-JOSEPH DEGUELDRE

Laurent Joseph (Kik) Degueldre was a doctor in Pepinster and lived at number 27 Rue Pepin. He was active in the resistance during the war and, together with his wife, offered shelter to the Jewish girl Rose Micmacker.

In May 1943 he was arrested during a Nacht und Nebel action and deported to Camp Esterwegen. His Stolperstein was placed at the address where he was arrested. Degueldre was a member of the lodge Le Travail in Verviers and was one of the seven founding members of Liberté Chérie in Esterwegen.

On December 19, 2011, Laurent Degueldre and his wife Maria Xhervelle were recognized by Yad Vashem as Righteous Among the Nations.
