There is also a memorial in the school yard to remind him of him. Behind the small open-air theater (on the right of the main entrance) the monument can be found between two conifers.
The children's home in Kletzke in the Prignitz was named after Rothbarth, who was rather unknown outside of Dresden . The then director of the home was a Saxon communist and knew him personally.
