"... On August 29, 1866, Hermann Löns was born in Kulm, West Prussia, now Chelmno. Today, he is considered the German heath poet par excellence, thanks in part to poems and songs such as "The Heath is Burning":

"On the Lüneburg Heath

in the beautiful land

I rose and I sank

I found all sorts of things along the way."

..."

I was quite surprised to find a memorial here in Bergisch honoring the heath poet Hermann Löns.
