The memorial for Isaak Hermann Albert Altmann, a landscaper, was designed by Diedrich Kropp and erected on the occasion of Altmann’s 100^th birthday on the 15^th August 1877. It is located on top of the former Doventor bastion in the Wallanlagen (the former city wall moat). The marble bust was built on a high base with a three-step foundation made from sandstone from Oberkirchen.

Inscription: I.H.A. Altmann *on 15^th August 1777 † on 13^th December 1837

A second version of this bust is located in a façade niche of the house on Altmannstraße no.12. The bust in the Wallanlagen was destroyed in 1944, reconstructed in 2002/2003 based on the second version and erected on the former Ansgari bastion, close to its original location.
