SiteComments:
In an ensemble with the "Alte Feste", the Christ Church and the "Tintenpalast". Double-life size full uniformed German cavalryman in bronze, height of 4.5 m, fixed on a granite pedestal, facing the north. Plaque with German inscription. After the idea of Colonel Ludwig von Estorff, the statue was scupltured by Adolf Kuerle to commemorate the German soldiers (1,618) and civilians (124) who died in the wars 1903-1907 and during the Kalahari expedition in 1908. It was shipped from Berlin to Swakopmund in 1911 and unveiled on 27.01.1912. Famous landmark.
