Schiller Monument Signage

The Friends of Schiller Park implemented a plan to integrate the story of German poet, philosopher, historian and playwright Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller into the monument which features a statue of Schiller - presented to the park by the villagers in 1891. Tim Smith designed a series of four circular plaques, mounted on the existing wrought-iron fence at each corner of the monument. Each sign is part of a progressive narrative leading visitors around the monument. The circular form was chosen to feel as though it were an integral part of the existing wrought-iron.
