  1. 1945

    Hellmut Späth's persecution and execution under the Nazi regime

    Hellmut Späth joined the Nazi Party and used public-works landscaping contracts in an effort to restore the nursery during the Depression. He later openly criticized the Nazi regime, was imprisoned in Sachsenhausen concentration camp, and was executed in 1945. This episode forms part of the nursery's final wartime history rather than a commercial scandal.
