The reign of Queen Zewditu Menlik began on October 22, 1923. Menlik's daughter Zewditu started the work to carve and install a monument in Germany to commemorate her father, but she was not lucky enough to see her dream come true as she passed away on March 22, 1922.

However, her dream came true during the reign of Haile Selassie, and stood in the place where it stands today with great splendor.

On the statue, Emperor Menelik is seen wearing a robe, full of anbar, with a sword in his hand, sitting on his horse, "Aba Dangew", and is seen majestically.

The statue is made of copper and designed by Carl Haertel, a German architect. The horse on which the king rides is called Aba Dangew, and his face faces north towards Adwa, where the battle of Adwa took place.

The height of the statue is more than the natural physical size, and "Aba Dangew" can be seen standing with his hind legs facing north and his front legs raised.

Happy “victory of adwa” day!
