The German garden features a number of stone monuments, featuring prominent 18th and 19th century Germans. Among them are statues of Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven; lyricist Heinrich Heine; writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe; and dramatist Friedrich von Schiller (pictured above with Goethe).

In addition, the garden includes ornate wrought-iron gates, made in Alsace (then a part of Germany) and a central, decorative fountain.
