Potsdam (dpa / bb) - Brandenburg's Prime Minister Dietmar Woidke (SPD) commemorated the 150th birthday of the workers' leader Rosa Luxemburg tomorrow, Friday.
"She fought energetically for peace, for the poor and the weak and thus became an icon of the German and international labor movement," said Woidke on Thursday, according to the announcement.
«Brutally murdered by Freikorps together with Karl Liebknecht in January 1919, their ideas worked and continue to work for decades to the present day."
Your maxim “Freedom is always the freedom of those who think differently” became famous in the GDR in the late 1980s and was so dangerous for those in power at the time because they so often invoked Luxembourg, said Woidke.
"I am convinced that this sentence, which always accompanied me during this time, played its part in the overthrow of the SED dictatorship."
