1944 the English erected a large memorial cross in Mombasa, Kenya.

| The commemorative plaque in english and suaheli reminds of the both swabian missionaries Krapf and Rebmann. Next to the cross there are four graves. One of it is the grave of Johannes Rebmann's wife Emma, another one probably the grave of this only child who died a few days after birth. | ||

In October 1993 the "Johannes Rebmann
Memorial Library" in Kalali, Tanzania was opened on the occasion of
the 100 years anniversary celebration of Leipziger Mission.
Above all the library shall be of benefit to the children of the families who have no electrical light at home and who have no money for a proper education. For the library's opening ceremony came thousands of locals and a number of guests of honor - among them the Secretary General of the Lutheran World Association, the Norwegian Gunnar Staalsett, and bishops from three continents. 'Representatives of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania attended also. | ||
