More Info:

The Pastorius Monument was completed in 1917 by Albert Jaegers (1868-1925) and commemorates Franz Pastorious and the 13 German families who founded Germantown on October 6, 1683. However, the limestone monument wasn’t displayed to the public until after World War I in 1920, due to anti-German sentiment that pervaded the country after the war.
