The park bears his name in his honour. The Palm Park, laid out after 1860, was originally the vegetable garden of the St. Geist Hospital. In 1866, a bronze statue of the Nuremberg bookseller Johann Philipp Palm, who was shot dead in 1806, was unveiled in the new park by Konrad Knoll from Munich. The Bavarian King Ludwig I made a contribution of 1000 guilders for this monument. Today, the memorial stands under old trees amidst well-tended flowerbeds in a beautiful park. Other memorials to Johann Palm: In 1926, the Bavarian Booksellers' Association had an obelisk erected on the spot where Palm was shot in 1806. At the base is a bronze relief with a bust of Palm. The obelisk is located on Palmweg, just a few minutes outside the city centre. Palm was buried in the town's cemetery. His gravestone is in the so-called first or old cemetery. His gravesite is preserved and maintained by the city.
