Kolonialkriegerdenkmal Düsseldorf, Bronze war memorial in Derendorf, Germany.
The Kolonialkriegerdenkmal features a soldier in tropical uniform sitting with a rifle on his lap upon a neoclassical sandstone pedestal with pilasters.
The memorial, inaugurated in 1909, honors fallen soldiers of the Niederrhein Fusilier Regiment No. 39 who fought in German Southwest Africa between 1904 and 1907.
In 2004, a commemorative plaque was added next to the memorial, marking the first explicit acknowledgment in Germany of colonial-era genocides in Africa.
The monument stands 1.5 meters tall and was relocated from its original position at Tannenstrasse barracks to Frankenplatz in 1935.
The bronze soldier figure draws inspiration from classical sculpture, potentially referencing the composition of the Dying Gaul from ancient Roman art.
