English: The new designed bust for the Danish Finance Minister and one of the most influential European slave traders Heinrich Karl Schimmelmann (1724-1782) was inaugurated 2006 by the district government and the city of Hamburg. Indignant citizens, the Black Community Hamburg (http://www.black-hamburg.de) protested and artists intervened in urban space within the project "wandsbektransformance. The Colonial in the Present"" (http://www.wandsbektransformance.de). Several times the honouring bust was poured over with red colour. Finally, 2008 the slave trader memorial was officially removed - the most short-lived colonial memorial ever!
