Attractions - Hofgarten

The Hofgarten at First and Gutenberg, is an exhibition center designed to accommodate ethnic music and arts, craft demonstrations and other educational programs celebrating the unique spirit and German heritage of historic Hermann.

Two “German-stable” inspired pavilions define the interior courtyard, much like a European public square, and feature brick and cobblestone paving and limestone fountains.

 

Ceremonial iron gates with brick piers and topped with decorative deer enclose the Hofgarten and enhance the park-like setting.  The pavilions feature old-world brick, stone and timber detailing, copper roofs, and hand-crafted wrought iron lighting.  The Hofgarten also features an eighteen foot tall half-timbered centerpiece cupola.

Guests of the Hofgarten will also enjoy the view of scenic Frene Creek, historic stone farm houses, hillside vineyards, and all of the natural beauty and charm of Historic Hermann.
