The Tanzania Park is the unofficial name of a monument complex in Hamburg-Jenfeld that presents memorials and sculptures from German colonial history. This was created in 2003 by the privately initiated Jenfeld Cultural Circle on the site of the former Lettow-Vorbeck barracks. There is a connection to this property in terms of content through the namesake of the Bundeswehr base, which was closed in 1999, Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, commander of the Schutztruppe for German East Africa, today's Tanzania, during the First World War. Since there are already numerous military and colonial symbols on the site and on the building facades, including ceramic relief portraits of the military men Hermann von Wissmann, Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck and Lothar von Trotha, further monuments of German and especially Hamburg colonial history, some of which are in storage, were to be erected at this location.
