===Annual demonstration===
In the city of Berlin a {{lang|de|Liebknecht-Luxemburg-Demonstration}}, shortened to {{lang|de|LL-Demo}}, is organised annually in the month of January around the date of their death. This demonstration takes place on the second weekend of the month in [[Friedrichshain|Berlin-Friedrichshain]], starting near the [[Frankfurter Tor]] and then to their graves in the central cemetery [[Zentralfriedhof Friedrichsfelde|Friedrichsfelde]], also known as the {{lang|de|Gedenkstätte der Sozialisten}} (Socialist Memorial).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.xhain.info/termine/liebknecht-luxemburg-demo.htm|title=Liebknecht-Luxemburg-Demonstration|first=Rene|last=Meintz|date=13 January 2019|website=Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg-Portal}}</ref> In [[East Germany]], the event was widely considered to be a mere show for [[Socialist Unity Party of Germany]] politicians and celebrities, which was broadcast live on state television.<ref>[https://www.jugendopposition.de/themen/145392/luxemburg-liebknecht-demonstration "Luxemburg-Liebknecht-Demonstration"].

During the [[Peaceful Revolution]], the annual parade in [[East Berlin]] honoring the deaths of Liebknecht and Luxemburg was used by East German [[dissidents]] as part of their campaign, "to raise their unwelcome demands at embarrassing moments for the regime." On 17 January 1988, as Premier [[Erich Honecker]] was reviewing the parade, a group of dissidents broke through the ranks of the [[Free German Youth]] and unfurled banners bearing an infamous dictum from ''Die Russische Revolution'', Rosa Luxemburg's book-length denunciation of both [[authoritarian socialism]] and [[censorship in the Soviet Union]], ''"Freiheit ist immer Freiheit der Andersdenkenden"'' ("Freedom is always the freedom of dissenters").<ref name=freedom/> Viewers of the parade were then subjected to the ironic sight of East German [[Stasi]] agents beating and arresting anyone who brandished the slogan.<ref>David Clay Large (2000), ''Berlin'', Basic Books. p. 520.</ref>

In January 2019, the German left-wing parties commemorated the 100th anniversary of the summary execution of Luxemburg and Liebknecht.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.thelocal.de/20190113/gloomy-german-left-remembers-murdered-rosa-luxemburg|title=Gloomy German left remembers murdered Rosa Luxemburg|date=13 January 2019|newspaper=The Local Germany}}</ref><ref>[https://xenagoguevicene.com/2019/01/13/berlin-15000-rally-to-remember-the-100th-anniversary-of-the-assassination-of-communists-rosa-luxemburg-and-karl-leibnicht-13-jan-2019/ "Berlin: 15,000 Rally to Remember the 100th Anniversary of the Assassination Of Communists Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht"]. 13 January 2019.
