Herman the German

The Hermann Monument honors Hermann who led several German tribes in a battle at Teutoburg Forest in 9 A.D. Later he became a symbol of German unity. The New Ulm statute was dedicated in 1897. In 2000 the 106th Congress of the United States designated the Hermann Monument to be an official symbol for the contributions of Americans of German heritage to this county. The carved boulder noting this event was placed on the grounds in 2011.
