HERMANN
Germanis'a Liberator
In the year A.D. 9 the warrior Hermann, then known as Arminius, led an army of northern Europeans to oppose a Roman intrusion into their homeland. In the ensuing Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, the annihilation of three Roman legions by Hermann's army has led historians to describe the battle as having changed the course of civilization.
The City of Hermann proudly recognize this hero as its namesake.
This plaza is designed to catch you eye as you enter town from Montgomery County, driving south across the Christopher Bond Bridge. The plaza with is name-sake hero statue and garden brightness is a grand entrance
