German landscape architect Otto Linne completed an apprenticeship in the Royal Court Gardens in Dresden, and was then trained in the Royal College of Potsdam Gardens, which were founded by famous gardener Peter Joseph Lenne. Linne later worked in Magdeburg and was then head gardener in Erfurt, and in Essen as the city garden director. From 1914-33 he was the garden and cemetery director of Hamburg. There, he was mainly responsible for the design of the Hamburg city park, the public park in Hamm, and the expansion of the Ohlsdorf cemetery. His plans offer space for the growing need for sport, for recreation and excursion possibilities of the citizens.
