Memory of Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht: 7000 participants expected!

On Sunday, the brutal murder of the communist leaders Rosa Luxembourg and Karl Liebknecht in Berlin, which lost their lives on January 15, 1919 by right -wing extremist militias. Ines Schwertner and Jan van Aken, the federal chairman of the left, as well as the chairpersons of the Berlin State Association, Franziska Brychcy and Maximilian Schirmer, organized the memorial event at the Memorial of the Socialists in the Friedrichsfelde central cemetery. Around 7,000 participants are expected to put down wreaths and red cloves. The former ruling mayor Michael Müller also announced his participation in the memorial event in the Berlin history workshop, as RBB24 reports.

The historical context

Luxembourg and Liebknecht, born in 1871 and co -founder of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD), ventured against the war and the existing political structures. Both had previously escaped from the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) to create an anti-warrior movement, the Spartakusbund. Her murder is not only regarded as pure crimes, but also as part of a greater struggle against the capitalist system and the oppression of the labor movement. The teachings from their deaths are still relevant today because they are symbolic of the resistance to oppression, as the People’s World also emphasizes.

The planned demonstration "Luxembourg-Liebknecht ceremony" will also mobilize up to 10,000 people who start at the Frankfurt Tor and moves to the memorial. A year ago, a similar event led to clashes with the police, and several participants were injured or arrested. Today's protests are not only a tribute to the two martyrs, but also reflect the continuing tensions and challenges of the political landscape in Germany. The stories of Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht remain inseparable from the history of the labor movement and are recognized annually by socialists and communists to keep their visions and ideals alive.
