  Here are some links to articles in the weekly magazine "Der Spiegel" about 
the case (German language, with images):

  In an interview with the leftist daily "junge welt", published May 30, the 
CEO 
of the Dietz publishing house (which publishes among others the works of 
Marx and Engels and of Rosa Luxemburg), Jörn Schütrumpf, supports the 
claim that the recently found body is the one by Rosa Luxemburg:

  An opposing view is layed out in an article by Klaus Gietinger in the same 
paper on June 4:

  Gietinger claims that a niece of Rosa Luxemburg is living in Warsaw, and 
that a DNA check could bring certainty about this corpse. According to 
Schütrumpf, the fascists had removed the corpse of the revolutionary leaders 
from the graves in the 1930ies. 

  The grave site of Rosa Luxemburg, Karl Liebknecht and other socialists is 
located at the memorial for socialists at the "Zentralfriedhof Friedrichsfelde" 
 
in Berlin-Lichtenberg, to be seen here in Google Maps
