In spite of her own Polish nationality and strong ties to Polish culture, her opposition to the independence of the [[Second Polish Republic]] and later criticism from Stalinists have made her a controversial historical figure in the modern [[Third Polish Republic]]'s political discourse.<ref name="przedmo">{{cite book |last=Tych |first=Feliks |date=2018 |editor-last=Wielgosz |editor-first=Przemysław |title=O rewolucji: 1905, 1917 |trans-title=On revolution: 1905, 1917 |publisher=Instytut Wydawniczy "Książka i Prasa" |pages=7–29 |chapter=Przedmowa |trans-chapter=Preface |isbn=978-8365304599 |language=pl}}</ref><ref name="winkler" /><ref name="damian" />

During the [[Polish People's Republic]], a manufacturing facility of electric lamps in the [[Wola]] district of Warsaw (Polish capital and the place where Luxemburg was raised and grew up), was established and named as the {{Lang|pl|Zakłady Wytwórcze Lamp Elektrycznych im. Róży Luksemburg}} [[:pl:Zakłady Wytwórcze Lamp Elektrycznych im. Róży Luksemburg|(pl)]]. After the transformation and change of regime, the factory was privatised in 1991 and then split up into four different companies; the factory buildings were sold by 1993 and fell into disuse in 1994.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lighting.pl/Wydarzenia-branzowe/wydawnictwa-branzowe/Kalendarium-historii-polskiego-przemyslu-oswietleniowego|title=Kalendarium historii polskiego przemysłu oświetleniowego|last=Kołakowski|first=Marek|date=2008-10-23|website=lighting.pl|access-date=2022-05-28}}</ref>

A street in [[Szprotawa]] used to be named after Luxemburg (''{{Lang|pl|ulica Róży Luksemburg}}'') until it was changed to ''ulica Różana'' (Rose street) in September 2018.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://szprotawa.pl/PL/3016/2266/Ulica_Rozy_Luksemburg_-_ulica_Rozana/k/|title=Szprotawa – Ulica Róży Luksemburg – ulicą Różaną|date=2018-09-11|website=szprotawa.pl|publisher=Urząd Miejski w Szprotawie|access-date=2022-05-28}}</ref> Many other streets and locations in Poland either used to be or still are named after her, such as those in Warsaw, [[Gliwice]], [[Będzin]], Szprotawa, [[Lublin]], [[Polkowice]], [[Łódź]], etc.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bedzin.pl/aktualnosc-2138-komunikat_w_sprawie_ul_rozy_luksemburg.html|title=Komunikat w sprawie ul.

Efforts to put up commemorative plaques in her memory have taken place in a number of Polish cities, such as Poznań and her birthplace Zamość. A 45-minute-long sightseeing tour around areas associated with the life of the Polish revolutionary was organised in Warsaw in 2019, where a statue of her by Alfred Jesion was also put on display at the Warsaw Citadel as part of the Gallery of Polish Sculpture of the 1950s.<ref name="xav">{{cite web|url=https://warszawa.wyborcza.pl/warszawa/7,54420,24370721,warszawa-potrzebuje-rozy-luksemburg.html|title=Warszawa potrzebuje Róży Luksemburg|date=2019-01-16|website=warszawa.wyborcza.pl|publisher=[[Gazeta Wyborcza]]|first=Xawery|last=Stańczyk|access-date=2022-05-28}}</ref>

==== Herbarium ====
Luxemburg collected plant specimens from 1913 up to her death. She had a lifelong interest in botany and the natural world.<ref name=":2">{{Cite journal |last1=Zych |first1=Marcin |last2=Dolatowski |first2=Jakub |last3=Kirpluk |first3=Izabella |last4=Werblan-Jakubiec |first4=Hanna |date=2023-06-03 |title=A "plant love story": The lost (and found) private herbarium of the radical socialist revolutionary Rosa Luxemburg |journal=Plants, People, Planet |volume=5 |issue=6 |pages=852–858 |language=en |doi=10.1002/ppp3.10396 |issn=2572-2611 |s2cid=259066901|doi-access=free }}</ref> This was especially true when she was isolated during her imprisonments, during which time working on the herbarium was critical to her wellbeing, an escape from a harsh reality, and a connection to the outside world.<ref name="auto1"/> Holger Politt, one of the editors of the 2016 book, ''Rosa Luxemburg: Herbarium,''<ref>{{Cite book |last=Wittich |first=Evelin |url=https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q120171558 |title=Rosa Luxemburg: Herbarium |date=2016-01-01 |publisher=Karl Dietz Verlag Berlin |isbn=978-3-320-02325-6 |editor-last=Politt |editor-first=Holger |language=German}}</ref> said, "Collecting and identifying plants helped her hold on to sanity. It was therapeutic to her; she couldn't have coped without it".<ref name="auto"/>

Luxemburg's personal herbarium, which comprises 18 notebooks, is placed at the Archive of Modern Records in Warsaw, Poland.<ref name=":2" /> It contains 377 different plant specimens that she collected or that were sent to her by friends and acquaintances, and are mostly of cultivated and common species.<ref name=":2" /> Each sheet features one to three different plants, which are identified using German and Latin species names and family names, and often also have handwritten botanical descriptions, as well as the collection location and date.<ref name=":2" /> Luxemburg collected the plants from a range of places, including the [[Alps]], the [[Sudety Mountains]], and also in or near the prisons in Berlin, [[Wronki]], and Wrocław (Breslau). The latter include plants from the prison vegetable garden or prison flowerbeds which she herself had planted.<ref name=":2" />
