Gedicht Heinrich Seidels auf Emil Jacobsen steht auf Seite 341 der Gesamtausgabe der Seidelschen Gedichte.
Als Emil Jacobsen sich in Bernau angesiedelt hatte, kam ihm der Gedanke, die vierhundertste (!) Wiederkehr dieser Bedrängungs- und Befreiungszeit müsse durch ein großes und eigenartiges Gedenkfest gefeiert werden, wie es noch keine märkische Stadt gesehen hätte.
