Hermann Heights Park is a very special park, located in the center of New Ulm (14 N. Monument St) and is home to Hermann the German Monument. This 102-foot monument towers over the city and depicts Hermann the Cherusci, the ancient hero whose army liberated Germany from Roman rule in 9 C.E.

Tens of thousands of visitors have climbed a spiral staircase to the base of the statue for a stunning, panoramic view of the city and the Minnesota River Valley. 

 The monument may be viewed from outside the fence, however, the area inside the monument is currently closed to the public and no access is permitted at this time.  Hermann Heights Park hours are 7am-11pm for viewing the monument and enjoying the other park amenities.
