Karl Ludwig Sand (d. 1820), a German university student and member of a liberal Burschenschaft, or student association, was executed in May, 1820, for his murder of the conservative dramatist August von Kotzebue the previous year in Mannheim. As a result of his execution, Sand became a martyr in the eyes of many German nationalists seeking the creation of a united German national state.
