Für demokratische Tradition und revolutionären Geist
1848 Märzrevolution 1998
Am Abend des 18. März verteidigten sich hier
Barrikadenkämpfer mit Unterstützung vieler Bürger
gegen die vom Schlossplatz her angreifenden Truppen.
Von der heutigen Rathausbrücke aus schossen zwei Kanonen
auf die Kämpfer. Unter den Opfern befand sich auch
der Anführer Levin Weiß, Student aus Danzig.
Es kommt dazu trotz alledem,
daß rings der Mensch die Brunderhand
dem Menschen reicht trotz alledem!
Ferdinand Freiligrath (1843), nach Robert Burns (1795)
