The garden was set up around the area of the Otto Ludwig memorial. In the center is the late Classicist garden house, which was once owned by the Ludwig family. It was built in 1814 (a year after Otto Ludwig was born) and today houses a collection related to the life of the poet.

In front of the garden house there is a monument created by Karl Röhrig in 1934. It shows a bust of the young Otto Ludwig. The inscription on the base reads:

Each leaf is
me like a brother

Not far from the Eisfeld Castle, in front of which the Otto Ludwig monument created by Otto Lang stands, is the Otto Ludwig Garden, in the middle of which is a garden house with a small memorial for the poet Otto Ludwig. In front of the garden house is a second Otto Ludwig memorial, created by sculptor Karl Röhrig, who was born in Eisfeld in 1886.

Otto Ludwig was a German writer and poet:

Notice
(1831)

Tell me, said the brittle one,
What kind of flowers are they?
Here at the little window?
And tell me quickly.

Didn't you guess?
And you usually guess so quickly.
It's the cold winter,
A fellow in love.

And how past it whizzes
With a sudden rush of wind,
He writes on all the windows
The sweetheart's name.

The long icy cones
Are his pen and pen;
If only I could decipher them,
The colorfully intertwined writing!
