    The Osnabrück writer, painter, and sculptor Rudolf Wulfertange (1884–1974), son of the woodcarver, sculptor, and modeler Heinrich Wulfertange, created the Lyra Stone in 1905 as a memorial to the clergyman and composer Justus Wilhelm Lyra (May has come). It is located in the southern part of the palace gardens near Schlosswall/Ritterstraße. The memorial stone was initially placed at the Vitischanze and moved to the palace gardens in 1985.
