Parking
The German Society has a parking lot, adjacent to the
building,
with an entrance in the middle of the block between 6th and 7th Streets
on Spring Garden (across from the break in the median).
The lot holds roughly 40 cars, and all visitors and members of the
Society are welcome (and encouraged) to use the parking lot.
Please make sure you park behind the black gate.
The parking area under the mural and in front of the gate does
not belong to us, and you will be in danger of towing if you park there.
