I think it commemorates the death of Friedrich, as he died in June of 1888.

Welcome, regandon!
German doctors wanted to remove his voice box due to cancer. His mother-in-law, Queen Victoria, sent over a doctor that said it was not necessary.

Yep, it does indeed commemorate the death of Friedrich III, who died on 15 June 1888 after reigning for 99 days.
The words are a song written by a 13 year old Ernst von Willich and if I'm interpreting correctly was Friedrich's favorite song (I think there's another meaning for lieblingslied). See here and do Ctrl+F for "131" for details in German.
Awesome dinner plate there!
