Kolonialdenkmal, Stone memorial in Stadtpark, Germany
The memorial features a wounded lion with its paw on a globe, accompanied by inscriptions listing former German colonies on its sides.
The memorial was erected on June 14, 1925, by a group of 75 former colonial troops to commemorate German soldiers who died in colonial territories.
The inscription 'Per aspera ad astra' and the Southern Cross constellation on the rear side connect to the heritage of Brunswick's former dukes.
The memorial stands at the end of Jasperallee in Brunswick's Stadtpark, with an information panel explaining its context and history.
Students from a nearby school covered the memorial in 2006 to raise awareness about colonial thinking controversies.
