In 1913, the pharmacist Hahne from Wernigerode donated a bust, created by the sculptor Arnold Künne, to honor the former protector of the Association of German Rose Friends, the German Empress Auguste Viktoria. In 1950, the bust of the Empress was to be removed on the orders of the Halle state government.
The gardeners secretly buried it in the Rosarium. In 1983, on the initiative of the Rosarium management and the sculptors of the Halle Association of Visual Artists, it was taken out of its hiding place and placed in the Wolfschlucht. In 2001, the "Empress" was returned to its original location overlooking the city entrance to the Rosarium. (from information board)
