What people are saying

Sept 2020

Rosa and her collaborator Karl Liebknecht were among the main leaders of an uprising against the country's leadership. For this they were murdered by thugs originating from demobilized armed forces. Painful and poignant memorials. Rosa's dead body was actually thrown from the bridge by her Freikorps murderers, where this memorial stands.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Difficult to find...

Sept 2018 • Solo

Rosa Luxembourg was a revolutionary around WWI. Her breach from the socialists and formation of the Spartacus League were courageous but she was executed by renegade pro socialist retired soldiers. Her death spot is on the banks of a rivulet at the edge of Tiergarten near a large pumping station. 2 cross bridges can Ce seen with one named after her. There is a plaque showing the memorial name bars were set in 1987.
The Berlin zoo is adjoining this wooded path area. Good short and pleasant walk from the Intercontinental hotel

Important marker of postwar brutality

July 2018 • Solo

Rosa Luxemburg was a feminist and social democrat who advocated revolution rather than democracy as the way to transform post-WW1 German society. She and her collaborator Karl Liebknecht led the ill fated Spartacist revolt in early 1919. It was defeated by the freikorps, a brutal gang of demobbed soldiers revruited by the tottering Weimar government to restore order. Beholden to noone, the freijorps took the law in to their own hands and mirdered Luxemburg and the other Spartacist leaders. This memorial to Rosa Luxemburg is at the Lichtenstein Bridge over the Landwehr Canal on the edge of the Tiergarten. It was from this bridge that Luxemburg’s murderers threw her body into the canal of the night of 15 January 1919. It is a modernist and importanr memorial.
