The Hafis Memorial Stone in Leipzig honors the renowned Persian poet Hafis, whose collection of poems, Dīwān, inspired Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's West-östlicher Divan. The monument was established in 1972, likely at the behest of Iranian exiles living in East Germany, and is now a protected heritage site.
