The Immigrant's Monument is Novo Hamburgo's 
oldest monument. Inaugurated on 15 November 1927 to commemorate the centenary of 
German immigration on the town's first colonized plot, it is today the seat of 
the German Society. Designed by the architect Ernest Karl Ludwig Seubert, winner 
of a public contest, the octagonal monument is surmounted by a central tower of 
23 m in height.

ECNH was established on 1 May 1911 by a group of German white collars of the 
Adams shoe factory; the name Sport Club Novo Hamburgo, subsequently changed to 
Esporte Club Novo Hamburgo, was preferred to Adams Futebol Club. The club is 
colloquially known as Noia, referring to the German name of the town, Neue 
Hamburg.
ECNH joined the Gaúcho Championship in 1925. In 1942, the club was 
renamed to Esporte Club Floriano, as a tribute to Marshal Floriano Peixoto. The 
name Esporte Club Novo Hamburgo was adopted in 1968.
ECNH won the Gauchão in 
2017, being the third club in more than 60 years to break the monopoly exerted 
by the two top clubs of Porto Alegre, Grêmio and Internacional (Grenal).

The flag of ECNH is horizontally divided blue-white-blue 
with the club's emblem in the center.
The first club's flag, designed in 
1911, already featured white and indigo blue, in a darker shade, as its colors. 
With time, the shade of blue became clearer and clearer, while blue gained more 
space on the flag.
The current design was selected in a public contest 
organized in 2015, gaining 41.5% of the votes.
