Antikolonialdenkmal, Memorial monument in Schwachhausen, Germany.
The elephant-shaped monument, constructed from dark red bricks, stands 10 meters tall in Nelson Mandela Park near Bremen Central Station.
Built in 1932 as a colonial memorial, the monument underwent transformation in 1989 to acknowledge Germany's responsibility for its colonial past.
The monument includes stones from Namibia's Omaheke Desert and memorial plaques commemorating victims of German colonial rule in Africa.
The memorial stands at Gustav-Deetjen-Allee and visitors can access the site through public transportation from Bremen Central Station.
A concrete chamber inside the monument base previously stored a book containing names of 1,490 German soldiers who died in colonial territories.
