Bronze plaque from 2001 embedded in the pavement to commemorate the burning of books by National Socialist students on May 10, 1933.
Names of affected writers are listed. All around the edge is the famous quote from Heinrich Heine: "That was just a prelude, where you burn books, you end up burning people too."
