OK Another weekend another letter. Today we get E for "Elefant".
Der Elefant is an anti-colonial monument near the railway station and the big arena in the town center.
Orginally built in the 1930's as a memorial in favour of the colonial movement, it was rededicated as an anti-colonial monument in 1989.
The figurative representation of the elephant is 10 meters high and made from clinker-brick.
To be honest I don't know a lot more about it and today for once I'm not so "bored" as I am getting ready for a work trip, but E was always going to be about the elephant, so here is a picture.
