The Count and Countess de Hoernle were a German-born American philanthropic couple who made many major donations to arts, educational, and social agencies, primarily in the Boca Raton, Florida, area.
Over the course of three decades, with the Countess taking the more public role as a leader or board member of a host of charity foundations, the Count followed her guidance in donating millions of dollars of his fortune.
Also bearing his name is the Dehoernle Alzheimer's Pavilion in Deerfield Beach, Florida, to which he was moved five days before he died.
A statue of the couple, created by artist & sculptor Yaacov Heller, is located in Mizner Park.
It lists 42 buildings named either after the Count, Countess, or both, and, said the artist, "she continued to donate money after those statues were put up.
