Black Garden, Memorial garden in Nordhorn, Germany.

The Black Garden features circular paths intersected by straight walkways, with dark-colored plants arranged around a central monument pedestal.

Originally established as a war memorial in 1929, the site underwent transformation between 1992 and 1995 under artist Jenny Holzer's direction.

Five sandstone benches display engraved texts in German and English that address themes of war and commemoration through artistic expression.

Located in central Nordhorn, this 3,447-square-meter memorial garden stands as part of the German-Dutch art and culture route known as kunstwegen.

A white garden section with pale flowering plants creates a deliberate contrast to the predominantly dark vegetation throughout the rest of the space.
