There is an interesting article on the NDR website about the book burning in 1933. Those directly affected by the Nazi action at the time – i.e. authors ostracized as “un-German” – later commented on the events:

On May 10, 1933, the Nazis staged their spooky "action" of burning books, during which "un-German" writings, i.e. works by Marxist, Jewish, liberal and pacifist poets, were burned at the Bismark Tower in the Aegidien March. The tower was demolished in the course of creating the Maschsee from 1934-1936 and was not rebuilt. Since 1936, the place where the books were burned has been below the water surface of the Maschssee at the level of today's parrot bridge.
