Lüderitz Memorial, National monument in Karas Region, Namibia.

The Lüderitz Memorial is a monument standing about 2.2 meters tall in the coastal landscape of southern Namibia and serves as a national memorial site. It sits among other colonial-era structures and maritime landmarks that define the town's physical character.

The memorial was officially recognized as a national monument in 1969, and received a special ceremony recognizing its status in 1980. This formal acknowledgment marked its importance in Namibia's cultural record.

The monument marks the spot where Adolf Lüderitz in 1883 used a survey point and a wooden plaque to signal his land acquisitions. The weathered plaque was later taken to the German Colonial Museum in Berlin. The fieldstone obelisk, now without its original pyramidal top, stands as a physical record of that claim.

The site is easily accessible and located near other historical buildings that can be visited during a walking tour of the town. The memorial itself is open to view at any time and requires no special arrangements to see.

The weathered wooden plaque that Adolf Lüderitz had used to mark his 1883 acquisitions was removed from this site and taken to the German Colonial Museum in Berlin. The fieldstone monument, about 2.2 metres tall, was built in 1903 on the spot of his survey point and has since lost its original pyramidal top.
