This sundial was given to Atlanta by the Federal Republic of Germany in 1983. It is located along Margaret Mitchell Square in Walton Spring Triangle. Walton Spring Triangle is a small park bounded by Andrew Young International Blvd, Spring Street and Carnegie Way.
The German Sundial is an Equatorial sundial made from steel and iron that stands on top of a triangular limestone base. The base has the Federal Republic of Germany Eagle on one side and a globe held in a pair of hand on another side. The sundial sits in a bed of liriope. A plaque that reads “The Federal Republic of Germany to Atlanta 1983” is attached to the sidewalk in front of the sundial.
In 1983 the Federal Republic of Germany would have also been called West Germany. On 3 October 1990, East Germany and West Germany were re-united.
