In 1970, a monument to the Russian revolutionary Vladimir Ilyich Lenin was erected in the town. Besides a relief sculpture of his portrait, it bears a Lenin quote as an inscription: "Learn, learn, and learn some more." After the town council passed a resolution in 1999 to preserve this monument, the CDU mayor initiated a motion in 2015 to replace the Lenin monument with a Schiller monument. However, the townspeople collected so many signatures to preserve the Lenin monument that on June 9, 2015, the town council decided to uphold its 1999 decision.

It's a good thing I mentioned the source; there's nothing helpful about that.
