    Wilhelm Bernardo Walter Cramer (May 1, 1886 in Leipzig – November 14, 1944 in Berlin-Plötzensee) was a German textile entrepreneur and resistance fighter against National Socialism. He was an influential and longstanding member of the board of directors of the Leipzig worsted spinning mill Stöhr (1923-1944), a member of the supervisory board of the Leipzig cotton spinning mill and chairman of the Saxon Advisory Board of Deutsche Bank. Cramer was one of Carl Friedrich Goerdeler's closest confidants and was executed in Plötzensee as a co-conspirator in the July 20, 1944 assassination attempt.

    The Cramer Memorial is a stone stele in the northeastern part of Johannapark. It honors the entrepreneur Walter Cramer (1886–1944), who was an active opponent and victim of National Socialism.

    It is constructed from five stacked, polished stone cubes, four of which are made of granite, while the second (from the top) is made of green serpentine and bears inscriptions on all sides.

    The memorial was created according to a design by the sculptor Klaus Friedrich Messerschmidt (born 1945) and was inaugurated on September 27, 1996.
