Christian Horn-Heinemann and theologian Carl-Wilhelm Bienefeld met at the Jüddepattwhere a Stumbling block to the doctor Dr Winfried Selbiger remembers. The Jüddepatt is a historic path between Büttgen and Glehn. Until the 1930s, many Jewish families travelled from Glehn to Büttgen on foot along the grass-covered path to trade cattle. At the Buscherhöfe, the path crossed the Kahlenberger Weg and from there was identical to the Buscherpfad / Buscher Kirchpfad. The Jüddepatt led as Jüddegätzke into Gartenstraße, which was then called Hongsjatz.
In October 2022, the first Stumbling block laid by artist Gunter Demnig himself. This stone draws attention to the fate of the doctor Dr Winfried Selbiger, who set up as a GP in Büttgen in 1932. Dr Selbiger was taken into protective custody by the National Socialists in October 1933 and was not allowed to enter his home or practice after his release. He then emigrated to Tanzania. Winfried Selbiger returned to Germany in 1954 and died at the end of 1961/beginning of 1962.
As part of a project at the Emmy Noether Comprehensive School In Kaarst, the impulse arose to look into the history of Dr Winfried Selbiger - the pupils' interest in the fate of a fellow citizen was great. Historian Reinhold Mohr then spent over two years researching the subject, the results of which are to be recorded in a book.
The Stolperstein is not only intended to pay tribute to Dr Winfried Selbiger, but also to encourage the community to come to terms with Jewish history, especially during the Third Reich. The Stolperstein is a symbol of tolerance and understanding.
