Gedenkstein für den "Gerolzhöfer Frauenaufstand"

geschaffen vom Gerolzhöfer Bildhauer Erich Leuner (1931-1958)


Am 6. April 1945 versammeln sich rund
1000 Frauen und Männer unter Führung der
Hauptlehrerin Josefine Schmitt auf dem Marktplatz und hissen an den Gebäuden weiße
Fahnen. Dieser Widerstand gegen die Machthaber des NS-Regimes trägt maßgeblich dazu
bei, dass die Stadt vor einem Bombardement
der herannahenden amerikanischen Truppen
verschont bleibt.
