Reutlingen (plaque)
Historical background
A Sinti family Reinhardt lived in the so-called “Gypsy house” in Reutlingen. Their house use to stand in Gerbersteg street, but it was moved to the bank of the Echaz River, next to the bus station at the Villa-Brand-Platz.
Description of commemoration
A small half-timbered cottage with a pointed gable roof covered with ceramic tiles is currently locked shut. Even its metal, green shutters are closed. On the gable wall there is a bronze plaque with an inscription in German.
