Memorial Gate

Garden Name: German Garden

Date: 1970


This wrought iron Memorial Gate has portals honoring three great Germans: Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528), the artist; Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750), the composer; and Ulrich von Hutten (1428-1523), soldier, humanist and writer. The design of these portals was supervised by Carl Bröml, a leader of the Federal Arts Project. They were created in 1937 by Herman Dercum.
