The list of memorials and stumbling stones in Rostock contains the plaques embedded in the ground in the Hanseatic City of Rostock, which commemorate the fate of people who were murdered, deported, expelled or driven to suicide under National Socialism. As in Gunter Demnig's Stolpersteine project, the stones are embedded slabs in front of the victims' homes or places of work, but are not directly related to Demnig's works. The stones have been laid in Rostock since 2000 on the initiative of the Association of Friends and Patrons of the Max Samuel House. They consist of larger stone slabs that show signs of fracture and abrasion. After Demnig did not agree to the further use of the originally used term "stumbling stone", the stones laid since 2016 are referred to as "memorial stones". The new stones were given a different look and are more weather-resistant than those laid until 2016.
