The Train Memorial was erected in 1925 to commemorate fallen soldiers of the Train Department, a military supply unit. A plaque added later commemorates two German soldiers who died "for the kingdom and fatherland" in 1905/06 in the German colonial wars in what is now Namibia. With the information stele, the city is now acknowledging German responsibility for colonial injustice and the genocides of the Herero and Nama between 1904 and 1908.

A memorial of shame that glorifies those involved in a genocide.

Even the explanations trivialize what happened; they should be more drastic and concrete. Perhaps we should take a look at the corresponding monument in Windhoek, which shows what happened in Namibia.
