Swakopmund is a coastal city in Namibia, west of the capital, Windhoek. Its sandy beaches face the Atlantic The city is situated at the edge of the Namib Desert and is the fourth largest population centre in Namibia. Swakopmund is a beach resort and characterized by German colonial architecture. The city was founded in 1892 as the main harbour for German South West Africa.
Swakopmund is full of historic examples of traditional German architecture. Most of these old buildings are not available to the public but since much of their beauty lies in their exteriors it can be enjoyed by all.
The fact that many of these buildings are still standing is due to the quality of the craftsmen and the attention to detail typical of the period.

There a brutal history behind the creation of Swakopmund. Natives were expelled and about 70% of my tribe (Nama) and 90% of Herero were exterminated by Germany. We will never forget, but with all that said...we appreciate our German people. You are welcome

It is german nostalghy from a time in the past in Swakopmund. It feels like the germans still pulling the strings in their old colony.🙃

[@terence4282]

Economically...Yes indeed. Like every other past colonial state in Africa. The youth is trying to change that.

Gulasch (gulyás) is originally a Hungarian food. Nagyon jó videó. Nagyon jó látni hogy Swakopmundban még őrzik a német hagyományokat. Az esetleges népirtásokat viszont sajnálom

German Town? Ag no what’s in Namibia is Namibian

[@AltLiving]

Completely agree. “German” is more to refer to style and history.
