2 june heinrich heine memorial in East Berlin

Berlin, Germany

The script of the memorial is as follow:

"I’m the sword, I’m the flame

I have lighted your way in the darkness, and when the fight began, I battled ahead in front lines.

Here just around me lie the corpses of my friends, but we triumphed.
We triumphed, but just around me lay the dead bodies of my friends.
The exalting paean’s of triumph tune the chorale of the commemoration of the dead.
But we have neither time for rejoicing, neither for grief.
The trumpets sound again, there will be a new battle.

I’m the sword, I’m the flame"

Hymn by Heinrich Heine
