[Cz-L] Heinestrasse

 The National theatre on the Fischplatz , is the city pride.
  In front of it stood a statue of Friedrich Schiller ,the great poet.
   I think it survived the rumanian period.
    The Soviets put a Lenin statue there which in 1940 .
     In 1941 the rumanians chopped his head off then removed it.
       Now Olga Kobylianska the native poet,
          sits on the socle and overlooks the square.
     The neighboring streets were also poetic : Schiller, Goethe and Heine.
      Schiller and Goethe survived all changes of regimes.
      From the Habsburgs till today nobody dared change these street names.
        Which is only right.
        Heine street not so . It lost its name .
         Wasn't he a great poet ? Oh yes , he was but he was born Jewish.
        This , the post-Habsburg city administrators , could not stomach.
          I cannot find any other plausible reason , can you ?
            So today it is Eliezer Steinbarg street , for the jewish local
            fabulist.
             The street that flanks the Jewish House.
            "Ich weiss nicht was soll das bedeuten
                Dass ich so traurig bin."
                 Loreley . Heinrich Heine .
