Remarks

1. ↑ Originally on the corner of Wienerstraße / Bogenstraße in front of the Pestalozzi School
2. ^ Foundation of the Hamburg businessman Ludwig Krüder the Elder. J. in memory of his father. Torn down after the war and stored for a long time until the individual parts were presented in Thiele's garden. Afterwards re-establishment at the city theater.
3. ↑ "Prof. In 1993, Jürgen Milchert, as head of the horticultural office, exhibited the stored fountain on a shelf in front of Thiele's Park. The individual parts were there on a very expensive shelf that was rusting to itself. It should be like that, according to his wishes. But it could also have been provocation; because now there was a discourse about the fountain. At the same time, the sculpture "windsail" was set up in front of the theater. This also included a gully, which turned out to be a stumbling block for theater-goers in a hurry. Thus, the windsail came into the entrance area of ​​the Bürgerpark and the Krüder fountain at its old location. "( Peter Raap )
4. ↑ not in the Alt-Wulsdorf cemetery
5. ↑ Hartwig Burgdorff was chairman of the church council of the Lutheran Dionysius congregation for a long time.
6. ↑ In one of the prisms there is a wreath with water nozzles. When the wind blows through the two prisms, a “sail” made of water droplets is created.
