Miss Baba († 1857) was an Indian elephant cow, the middle of the 19th century by a Wandermenagerie owned by a family Kreutzberg was driven through Central Germany and put on display. The elephant was able to demonstrate some dressage, but suffered a spectacular and torturous end, which caused a sensation in rural Thuringia in the 19th century and is reminiscent of that in Niederroßla every 25 years with an anniversary celebration, the elephant festival (Wikipedia).

The Indian elephant by the name of »Miss Baba« was the greatest attraction of the Kreutzburg hiking menagerie. She died in 1857 here in Niederroßla near Apolda. Every 25 years an anniversary celebration, the elephant festival, commemorates the painful end of the elephant cow.
This monument was erected to commemorate the centenary of the elephant.
