Lüderitz Memorial, National monument in Karas Region, Namibia.
The Lüderitz Memorial stands at a height of 2.2 meters and serves as a prominent structure within the coastal landscape of southern Namibia.
The monument received its official national heritage status on March 13, 1969, with a subsequent recognition ceremony taking place on June 10, 1980.
The memorial represents the intersection of German colonial influence and Namibian heritage, reflecting the complex historical development of the Karas Region.
Visitors can access the memorial while exploring other historical structures in the area, including the colonial architecture and maritime landmarks of Lüderitz.
The monument's location near the site where Bartolomeu Diaz erected the first Portuguese cross in 1488 connects it to early maritime exploration history.
