In 1888, shortly after the res- olution was adopted, Kaiser Wilhelm II voiced objections to honoring the anti-nationalist poet, and since then plans for erecting the monument have run into objections from Ger- man nationalists. This time, a group of private citizens pur- chased a statue of a female figure entitled "Harmony," exe- cuted by the French sculptor Aristide Mantel, and presented it to the city as a Heine memor- ial.

(Empress Elizabeth of Aus- tria had a statue erected in her garden at Corfu to the memory of the poet. Later, it was offered to the city of Dusseldorf which rejected it. The statue now stands in New York City at Mott Avenue and 161st Street.
