About the history: The processing plant of the former Maximilian
colliery in Hamm's Maximilian parc has been re-designed in such a way that it
looks like a very large elephant today. That is the reason for which the
elephant is the famous landmark of the city of Hamm in Westphalia (Germany).
As a consequence an elephant has been placed at the entrance of
the Selbach parc, a leisure area in the city of Hamm. If you want to know more
about the animal's name, please click on the
