Bismarckleed is a critical folk song about the Bismarck Monument in Norden, East Frisia. Written in the late 1970s and re-recorded in 2022, it recalls red paint attacks on the monument and questions its symbolism in a time marked by patriotism and repression.

Who still wants to remember Bismarck, and why? What values is this monument meant to represent? As the monument crumbles today, the song invites reflection on how we remember history—and whose voices are remembered, and whose should be remembered?
