Ostblog reports that Waldemar Grzimek's sculpture of Heinrich Heine is due to be cleaned up by a group out of Düsseldorf. We lived right down the street from the monument in the Volkspark am Weinsberg where he sits, gazing into the distance towards Wedding. I'm glad someone's looking out for him. He's often surrounded by empties and trash, especially in the summer when the Volkspark, as the only greenspace for miles, is full of partying coolkids from morning 'til nightfall.
