Herero Stone, War memorial at Columbiadamm Cemetery, Germany

The Herero Stone sits within the Columbiadamm Cemetery grounds, marking the complex intersection of German colonial history and modern memorial culture.

Established in 1907, this memorial stone commemorates seven German soldiers who died during conflicts with the Herero people in present-day Namibia.

The memorial's presence near Islamic burial grounds and World War monuments reflects the cemetery's role in representing different historical narratives.

The memorial stone remains accessible throughout the year within the Columbiadamm Cemetery, situated at coordinates 52.480322 latitude and 13.413154 longitude.

In early 2023, the Neukölln district assembly initiated plans to redesign the memorial ensemble, addressing concerns about its historical representation.
