About the Hebbel monument in Wesselburen Groth, Klaus, Schleswig-Holstein poet (1819-1899). Eigh. Letter from the U.S. "Klaus Groth". 7 pp. on 2 double pages with monogram "KG". Gr. 8vo. ==References== To the Hebbel admirer Schlömer; very detailed advice on his efforts to establish a Hebdel monument in Wesselburen. "... It doesn't matter to me when I get my Mscr. from Mrs. Kuh again, but I have to get her at last: they are Hebbel's letters to me, copies of his letters to friends in Schleswig-Holstein, and copies of all the poems of Heb Bel from the Eidersterseder messenger. Finally a youth story of Hebbel by my hand or in transcript. - For the think maal it will soon be moving again. Just don't let yourself be put to sleep by believing Dr. Bamberg and the Grand Duke would do everything now, then nothing happens in the end: even the man is. Ditmarschen must honor itself through the thinking maal, even the main thing. If the rich friends and high gentlemen want to help - well, do not reject it, then let them give or create money, even good advice for me, but Ditmarschen, Holstein, yes Wesselburen must keep the main thing and the decisive voice. I urge the committee to proceed in this way and to respond to Dr Bamberg immediately, so that the matter does not get stalled. Also, don't let the Thinkmaal talk you out of Wesselburen. That's where it belongs. It is seen sufficiently in a place by rail, if not so often, then with all the greater interest. In Kiel, a think maal stands for Klaus Harms. Who looks at it? ... Gar Hebbel would be lost in Kiel. No, in Wesselburen his bust will be noticed on a high pedestal by everyone, admired by many, some a suggestion for reflection or reflection. You yourself, my young friend, have the honour to have given the first active suggestion ... a worthy thinking maal, even if it takes some time to produce, i.e. to put a colossal bust on a worthy pedestal, for example granite stone, on the main square in the center of Wesselburen. Don't let anyone shake you... If you have nothing else bring any notes to the Ditmarscher newspapers, and if it were short excerpts from Kuh's biography of Hebbel... You must have patience and zeal for all this and more ... No disparity, no disparagement. If you don't want to do it, please do not bother ...". - "Woman cow" was the widow of the authoritative Hebbel biographer Emil Kuh. Felix Bamberg was the first editor of Hebbel's diaries. - In 1887 the first Hebbell monument was erected in Wesselburen. - Two printed portraits of Groth.
