Ernst Cramer was a Swiss landscape architect and one of the most renowned European garden architects after 1945, who had a strong influence on present day landscape architecture in Europe. Ernst Cramer learned the profession of a gardener at a renowned firm in Zürich, where he was instructed by the landscape architect Gustav Ammann, a close friend of Richard Neutra and one of the most important Swiss garden architects at the time. When Cramer started his own business in 1929, he mostly designed private gardens for wealthy clients and perfected a romantic, rather picturesque style.
