Heinrich Heine, born in Dusseldorf, spent several years in Hamburg, although he obviously did not particularly like it in the Hanseatic city. Too many pepper bags, too little culture, so Heine. Nevertheless, he was drawn back to Hamburg several times.
The most important poet of the 19th century was created in 1911 a monument that was erected in 1926 in the city park. Since Heine was of Jewish descent, the Nazis demolished this monument in 1933. The metal was used to make weapons.
In 1982, the monument, originally created by Hugo Lederer, was re-created by Waldemar Otto. Since then it's on the Hamburg Rathausmarkt.
