Hartmann, Carl Heinrich (1833–1887)

Born in Dahlen, Saxony, Germany in 1833; emigrated to Australia in 1850; died Brisbane, Queensland, on 14 December 1887 (buried in Toowong Cemetery).

Hartmann married Georgina Elizabeth Anna Pringle on 3 January 1863 at St Paul's Church in Forbes, New South Wales, and they later settled in Toowoomba, Queensland. Hartmann was a noted horticulturalist and he established Range Nursery in Toowoomba in around 1865. Walter Hill, Queensland's Government Botanist, planned and designed the city's Queen's Park beginning in the 1870s and Hartmann made major contributions to this project.
