- A motion by AfD and CDU councillors passed with 13 votes in favour, six against and one abstention.
- The motion proposes holding remembrance primarily at the Nordfriedhof, where directly stepping on the memorials would be prevented.
- The administration had recommended rejecting the motion, calling public spaces important for broad awareness and engagement with history.
- The International Auschwitz Committee criticized the decision; Kretschmer generally supports Stolpersteine and emphasizes municipalities’ freedom to decide.
This is a transparent and shabby attempt to drive Heidenau's Nazi victims out of the town again and dispose of them where, in the AfD's view, remembrance has long since belonged: in the cemetery.— Christoph Heubner, executive vice president of the International Auschwitz Committee, in a statement about the decision not to lay Stolpersteine in Heidenau
