Where can they be found? The originals of these statues are in another part of Germany.

Would the originals be in the gardens in Hannover?

Yes, the are! So the copies are in the garden of the ... in Berlin?

It has to do with diplomacy

[war]

The building is the 'parliament' of the States of Lower Saxony so this would be it's garden. The connection to the location of the original Hannover Gardens sculptures.

Perfect, your turn!

Let's get the name of this island. Its country's largest city can be seen less than two miles off.

Could it be Mauritius, whose capital is Port Louis?

Should be Sansibar

For Stuart and Andreas, so close but so far, a well deserved hint:

The island we're looking for is on the other side of the continent off of which Zanzibar and Mauritius reside. 

[stuny]

Wally -

That generous hint suggests Cape Verde (capital: Praia), or the Canary Island (capital Sta Cruz).  Of course I could be wrong on both counts.

[AZach]

Wally, 

my guess is Robben Island (where Nelson Mandela was kept in prison) outside Cape Town.

best regards,   Arto

Stuart, you're on the precise coast, but the island I've shown belongs to the country on the mainland seen in the background.

Hint: I believe for some strange reason it's a place you haven't been!

Arto, not Robben Island .

Hint: Like Robben Island, there was no escape from this terrible place either.

Regards, Wally

Must be some slave trade terminal port then?

You have me thinking of the film “Papillon,” and therefore Devil’s Island

Yes, it was the island's only purpose. Incidentally Nelson Mandela visited this place.
