Hans Hallervorden
Hans Hallervorden (born February 11, 1872 in Sensburg , East Prussia ; † June 27, 1965 in Berlin ) worked as a gardening inspector and was gardening director of the Joachim Ernst Foundation in Wörlitzer Park from 1920 to 1938 and 1946 to 1948 . There he carried out the first restoration measures in the historical gardens.
On November 10, 1938 , with his courageous intervention, he saved the Wörlitz synagogue from destruction by two SA men who wanted to set the synagogue on fire. He was retired a short time later. After the end of the Second World War he was called back to his old office.
Hans Hallervorden's grandson, Dieter Hallervorden (* 1935), is known as a German actor and theater director .
