IV. Buildings Integral to the Former Life and/or Persecution of Jews in Altona. 16. No. 31 Elbchaussee Verein Heine-Haus e.V. (Salomon Heine Garden House) No. 31 Elbchaussee, Salomon Heine Garden House. The original Heinrich Heine Statue, that once stood in the nearby Donners Park. After its move from Korfu the statue of Heinrich Heine was erected on private ground at Barkhof in Mönckebergstraße. It remained here until 1927. It was repeatedly bedaubed and damaged by Nazi gangs. The Mayor of Altona Max Brauer rescued it and it was erected in the so-called octogon in Donners Park near the former house of Heinrich Heine's uncle Salomon Heine where he spent much of his time during his Hamburg period. The statue remained here until 1939 when it was again rescued and moved to Toulon in France preventing it from being destroyed by the Nazis. The statueless plinth in Hamburg with the inscription "Heinrich Heine" remained long after its removal to Altona. The author Kurt Tucholsky published a photograph of the statueless plinth with the text: "The number of German war memorials compared to the number of German Heine memorials reflects the comparison between power and intelligence in this country".
