Source of “Der Tod ist die letzte Feste dem Freien, deren Tor immer offen steht.”

Question

There is an epigraph, poem or similar, where something like

Der Tod ist die letzte Feste dem Freien, deren Tor immer offen steht.

is written (but unfortunately I do not remember the details). What is the title/author/accurate text of that epigraph/poem/..., please? (I suspect the author to be Ernst Jünger, but this is just a wild guess.)

Olaf's answer was not the text I thought about, but it is interesting to see this, thanks! When were both texts created? Did the second writer know the first text? But before answering those questions, I would first like to get the correct citation of the quote above.

Answer 1

You've probably googled quite a bit, with no results, so let me add another wild guess to yours.

Wolfgang Borchert, who was born after Ernst Jünger and died before him and who created remarkable stuff in his short life, wrote a drama named Draussen vor der Tür in which in Szene 5 Beckmann and the Straßenfeger (road sweeper) - who is the death - meet.

Their words don't really match those in your question, but there is a resemblance in the tone:

BECKMANN: Tod, Tod, laß mir die Tür offen. Tod, mach die Tür nicht zu. Tod –

STRASSENFEGER: Meine Tür steht immer offen. Immer. Morgens. Nachmittags. Nachts. Im Licht und im Nebel. Immer ist meine Tür offen.

And so on. Maybe that's what you remembered?
