Trust me or not, I know Mr. Heinrich Heine personally! He's a waterproofing worker on my construction site! Same name, different person :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tabbs Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Trust me or not, I know Mr. Heinrich Heine personally! Me too, me too! Well, the one I know is actually the writer on the medals. Being in Düsseldorf, it is hard not to know him ... And yes, Heine was born in 1797. But in his late years, he even wrote in a letter to his sister that he was born in '99. Poetic license, I'd say. Two Heine coins - one from the GDR, one from the Federal Republic: http://ddr-muenzen.de/bilder/10-mark/heinrich-heine.jpg http://www.eurocollections.com/images/image.php?image=470 Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
