PARK AND CEMETERY. 
GERMAN LANDSCAPE ART SEEN IN PARK PLANS 
Some typical and interesting work 
of leading landscape architects in 
Germany is to be found in the com- 
petitive plans for a city park at 
Schoneberg, some of which are re- 
produced herewith from a recent is- 
sue of Moeller’s Deutsche Gaertner- 
Zeitung. 
The first prize of 3,000 marks was 
awarded to Oddone Kruepper, land- 
scape architect of Duesseldorf, for 
the design shown herewith. 
The second prize, 2,000 marks, was 
given to Frederick Encke, superin- 
tendent of parks at Cologne, who 
presented a design in collaboration 
with Building Inspector Bolte, of 
that city, as it involved the treatment of 
an underground railway station. 
The design of J. P. Grossman, 
landscape engineer, of Leipsic, did 
not win a prize, but was purchased 
by the committee and received hon- 
orable mention. The park entrance, 
the formal basin, the lagoon, and the 
small stream are also features of his 
design. 
The following comments on the 
designs by Superintendent Jens Jen- 
sen, of the West Parks of Chicago, 
give interesting points of compari- 
son between the prevailing style of 
landscape gardening in this country 
and in Germany: 
“The first prize plan is the best 
design according to my notion. It 
has less space devoted to walks or 
drives, and the planting' is spaced 
better. Of course, the second prize 
plan has its merits in the valley for- 
mation at the left end, which is very 
beautiful, but I do not like the plant- 
ing scheme, which is too much scat- 
tered about. The underground rail- 
way station embodied in this plan is 
quite an interesting piece of work. 
“The Grossman plan is well worth 
illustrating on account of its formal 
work, and also as far as illustra- 
tions are concerned, is entirely in 
harmony with the modern school of 
‘secessionists.’ It is the first park 
plan I have seen of this modern 
school, and the illustration, and in 
fact all of them, look more like paint- 
ings from the followers of this 
school.
