Heinrich-Heine-Denkmal, Granite memorial on the Brocken summit, Harz, Germany

The Heinrich-Heine-Denkmal is a memorial on the summit of the Brocken in the Harz, in Saxony-Anhalt. It consists of a four-tonne granite block set up between the Brockenhaus and the Wolkenhäuschen, bearing the original Heine plaque unveiled on 16 September 1956 at a Brocken cliff. The dates 1797 and 1856, Heine's years of birth and death, are cut into the stone below the plaque, with the inscription HEINRICH HEINE.

On 16 September 1956, a memorial plaque was unveiled on a Brocken cliff for the centenary of Heine's death. From August 1961, during the closure of the summit, it was kept in Schierke. On 8 November 1996, on the initiative of the Harzklub-Zweigverein Schierke, a four-tonne granite block was set up between the Brockenhaus and the Wolkenhäuschen, bearing the original plaque.

The granite block stands between the Brockenhaus and the Wolkenhäuschen, with Heine's original plaque from 1956 set into it. The dates 1797 and 1856, his birth and death years, are cut into the stone below, and beneath them the inscription HEINRICH HEINE. A quote about seeing the world at his feet is often attributed to Heine here, but it is not his.

The monument stands on the Brocken summit in the Harz, between the Brockenhaus and the Wolkenhäuschen, reachable only on foot via the Brocken trails. The four-tonne granite block carries the original plaque from 1956; the dates 1797 and 1856 are cut into the stone below it, with HEINRICH HEINE inscribed beneath.

The granite block weighs four tonnes and stands between the Brockenhaus and the Wolkenhäuschen. The plaque fixed to it is the original one unveiled on 16 September 1956, the centenary of Heine's death, at a Brocken cliff; it was kept in Schierke while the summit was closed from August 1961. The dates 1797 and 1856 are cut into the stone below it.
