The execution of Karl Ludwig Sand.

The sympathetic depiction reproduced below shows Sand (right) shortly before his execution in Mannheim
on May 20, 1820. Standing on the scaffold next to his executioner and the executioner’s assistant, Sand
declaims unwaveringly, “My trust is in God!” Remarkably, a large military contingent in the background
has been called in to stand guard at the public execution, a precaution taken on account of the tense
political situation at the time.

His grave in Mannheim.

August von Kotzebue
