A large stone overgrown with ivy rises out from meadow and the undergrowth. Between the leaves can be found two intertwined hands in bronze: A sign of fraternity and friendship, a symbol of cultural, social or political agreement. When Daniel Spoerri made this stone into the Poet’s Grave, he was thinking of the Romantic poet Heinrich von Kleist, of whom reference works state: »Having experienced no literary success, doubting the strength of human connections and despairing of the political situation, he took his life together with the fatally ill Henriette Vogel by Wannsee. Kleist died on 21.11.1811.«
