- "You may not know this, but garden gnomes are
all the rage in Paris. The colorful, gaudy gnomes, which some find
cute and others find repulsive, were invented in eastern Germany
in the 1870s and have become something of a status symbol in
French gardens."
- "Organizers of the exhibit have said they will not bow to the front's
demands, but the front is not a group to be trifled with. In 1997, it
was fined for the disappearance of some 150 gnomes. And in
1998, a "mass suicide" of gnomes in the city of Briey in eastern
France was attributed to the group.
The 11 gnomes were discovered hanging by their necks under a
bridge, their little bodies swaying in the wind. A letter found
nearby explained, "When you read these few words we will no
longer be part of your selfish world, where we serve merely as
pretty decoration.""

- "The earliest examples of garden gnomes date back to the
Old Egyptian Empire, over 4000 years ago, but the recent trend appears to
have spread across Europe from a fashion for gnomes in 19th century Germany,
and they can now be found in every town and village. "
- "They are almost invariably bearded and wearing a pointy
red bonnet. The word "gnome" comes from the Greek word
"gnomê" meaning intelligence."

- "The garden gnome belongs to the general type. He lives in old gardens, even those
hemmed in between the new houses if modern "model" cities. His nature is on the somber
side, and he rather enjoys telling melancholy tales. If he begins to feel too closed in, he
simply goes to the woods. But, as he is quite learned, he sometimes feels out of place
there. "

- Pledging Allegiance with Garden Gnomes is not Punishable....
At the end of March 1998 Christian Herz, a member of the group, "Campaign
against Military Service, Forced Service and the Military" was tried in a
Municipal Court of Berlin on account of violation of the Law concerning
Assemblies and Processions. Two days prior to an official pledge of
allegiance by Federal Army recruits in May 1996, he and other activists
had set up a parade of 450 garden gnomes in front of the Charlottenburg
Palace. For this anti-military action, the gnomes had been painted as "NVA
gnomes", police gnomes, and - to the displeasure of genuine field army
members - as "military police gnomes". All of them were members of the
"National Garden Gnome Army" (NZA). The gnomes were then sworn in to texts
of oaths from 200 years of German military history.
A strict ban on assemblies in this area had been ruled. Herz received a
fine of 450 Marks (one Mark per gnome). He objected, which led to the
court hearing. After Herz asked the question, "How many garden gnomes
represent an assembly, and at what stage does this violate the Law
concerning Assemblies and Processions?", the court no longer dealt with
the matter and the case was dropped on the ground of insignificance.
After this judgement a sextet of gnomes made a mini-parade in front of the
court. As the Frankfurter Rundschau newspaper stated on March 21. The
parade showed great discipline. "No special occurrences reported".
