Swakopmund, Namibia, was founded two years later than Windhoek, in 1892, by Captain Curt von Francois as the main harbour of German South West Africa. Increased traffic between Germany and its colony necessitated establishing of own port as Walvis Bay, located 33 kilometres south, was already in British possession. The choice fell on Swakopmund where water could be found and because other sites checked (including Cape Cross) were unsuitable.
Name. The majority of towns and villages in Namibia have grown out of indigenous settlements and very often were located close to sources of water. Names of places given by original inhabitants were very descriptive and in many cases those names were retained by European settles who sometimes simplified pronunciations of the names.
Nama word ''Tsoakhaub'' can be translated as ''excrement opening'' which was offensive but accurate description of the waters of Swakop River at the time of coming down in floods carrying masses of mud, sand, pieces of vegetation and animal corpses. The masses of dirty and muddy water were emptied into the ocean and the indigenous name described it very well.
The Nama name was changed to ''Swachaub'' and with proclamation of Swakopmund as independent district in 1896 the present way of writing came into use.

We visited Swakopmund a week ago - what a life changing experience! Unfortunately both the aquarium and museum were closed due to renovations. 😢

[@DynamoWolzow]

Ich war sicher schon 10 mal in Swakopmund, aber das Aquarium habe ich noch nie von innen gesehen. Da gab e immer irgend welche Restaurierungen, Umbauarbeitungen oder sonst was. Auf jeden Fall war es nie zugänglich

[@monadavid1292]
