Kassel / Bonn (dpa) - The regional council (RP) Kassel has given the Bonn House of History furnishings from the office of the murdered regional president Walter Lübcke.
This includes above all the desk from which Lübcke has steered the fate of the RP Kassel from taking office in 2009 until his violent death in June 2019, the authority announced on Wednesday.
A Power Point presentation on Lübcke's lecture, which the CDU politician gave in Lohfelden near Kassel in October 2015, was also created at the desk.
The lecture itself and some objects from Lübcke's desk such as a display with the flags of Hesse, Germany and Europe also went to the House of History, explained the RP.
Lübcke had presented plans to set up a refugee shelter at the citizens' meeting in Lohfelden.
In response to abuse from disruptors in the audience, he uttered the following sentences: «It is worth living in our country.
You have to stand up for values.
Anyone who does not uphold these values can leave this country at any time if they do not agree.
It is the freedom of every German. "
Lübcke's statements are said to have been the trigger for his murder.
On the night of June 2, 2019, he was shot on his terrace by right-wing extremist Stephan Ernst.
