Where time almost stands still

In many ways, Luderitz seems frozen in time. Originally built on such high hopes, the town has preserved much of its alluring German architecture, almost like a memory to a time passed. Today one cannot help but feel the peculiarity, as well as the charm, of this remote little coastal town.

Luderitz: A quiet town with many stories to tell

With its unique setting, interesting history and friendly people, Luderitz (Lüderitz) is a coastal holiday town with a difference. Not only does the town’s architecture have a story to tell, but the nearby ghost towns of Kolmanskop and Elizabeth Bay, as well as the wild horses at Garub, all contribute to the mystery and bizarreness connected to Luderitz.

Bartolomeu Dias erected a stone cross on this rocky coast as early as 1488 whilst on his famous quest to find a sea route to India. Today, a replica of the cross marks the location where it was originally placed and can be visited. The Portuguese, however, were not interested in this inhospitable land. Eventually, in 1883 the German merchant Adolf Luderitz landed in the bay that was later to be named after him. He bought the surrounding land from the Khoekhoe chief Joseph Fredericks in an event, which many believe is the beginning of German colonial rule in South West Africa.

At first, progress was very slow. But then the town of Luderitz suddenly experienced an unexpected surge in wealth and population when, completely by chance, diamonds were discovered in 1908. The area soon found itself amid a tremendous diamond rush. Many people became very wealthy, very quickly and naturally, they needed a way to show their wealth. As a result, new and ornate buildings started springing up, many in the German art nouveau style which was in vogue at the time. Most notable of these buildings is perhaps the Goerke House, built for Hans Goerke who was the manager of the local diamond company. This magnificent house has been well maintained and can be visited on guided tours during certain hours. Another one of the town’s most famous buildings is the Lutheran Church known as Rock Church (Felsenkirche), sitting atop of Diamond Hill, overlooking the town. Built in a mostly neo-gothic style it is both impressive and beautiful and yet, as is often case in Luderitz, feels slightly out of place. A guided city tour of Luderitz is certainly worth it. It allows you to not only admire, but also understand the history behind some of the town’s most notable structures.

With the afore mentioned diamond boom also came new settlements such as Elizabeth Bay and most notably, Kolmanskop. The settlement at Kolmanskop grew particularly fast and took the shape of a small German town. The only difference was that this town was not somewhere in the Bavarian Alps, but in the middle of the Namib Desert. Soon, ostentatious villas sprung up with the newfound wealth. The town had its own school, skittle alley, gymnasium, butchery, ice factory and a hospital with the first x-ray machine in the southern hemisphere.

The diamond rush did not last long however, and the diamond industry soon moved further south, leaving the beautiful buildings of Luderitz as relics to its once prosperous past and ultimately, transforming Kolmanskop and Elizabeth Bay into ghost towns. The sands of the Namib have been gradually reclaiming the settlements and now, particularly Kolmanskop has become probably the area’s foremost tourist attraction.

But Luderitz has even more bizarreness to offer and the wild horses of the Namib are another one of the region’s strange attractions. Their exact origin remains a mystery, but many suggest that the horses are the descendants of domesticated horses which were freed during the First World War. You could see these now feral horses for yourself, as they are often sighted near a place called Garub, near Aus, approximately on hours’ drive from Luderitz.

A less well-known and considerably darker chapter of Luderitz’s history is found on Shark Island, a jagged peninsula that juts out into the Atlantic just outside of the town itself. Now used as a campsite, this island was once a concentration camp where thousands of ethnic Hereros and Namas were incarcerated and where many died due to exposure, following a bloody colonial war.

Today, Luderitz is striving to rekindle the optimism which once enveloped the town. Luckily, there are several wonderful accommodation options to choose from when staying here. Ranging from small owner-run guest houses to larger hotels, there is something for everyone. Many of the accommodations provide a sea view and allow you to gaze out onto the Luderitz harbour or over the Atlantic Ocean.

You can explore Luderitz as part of this self-drive tour , this guided tour , or any tailor-made tour .

Luderitz is often forgotten by those who travel to Namibia and that is a real pity. The town is in a very remote region and on face value, seems like just another a sleepy seaside town. But it is more than that. It is a sleepy seaside town with plenty of stories to tell and it offers many things to do and discover for any traveller who visits.

German Architecture

You can see examples of German art nouveau architecture on buildings such as the Felsenkirche, Goerke House, the Old Station Building, the Turnhalle, Kreplin House and Troost House, giving the town a peculiar German feel. On a guided tour, you can learn about the colonial history of Namibia.

Luderitz Waterfront

You can take a stroll along the newly created Luderitz Waterfront and spend some time exploring the restaurants and shops and mingle with some of the friendly locals whilst doing so.

Luderitz Crayfish Festival

You can discover why the people of Luderitz are so proud of their local crayfish (rock lobster), particularly during the annual Luderitz Crayfish Festival which runs from the end of April until early May and taste many delicious crayfish dishes.

Best time to visit Luderitz

Luderitz has a desert climate, and the weather is constant throughout the year. You can expect foggy mornings and nights with cool to mild daytime temperatures and a chilly breeze (or sometimes strong wind) regularly coming in off the cold Atlantic Ocean. Do not expect any rainy days however, as Luderitz hardly ever experiences rainfall.

Visit the ghost town of Kolmanskop

The ghost towns of Kolmanskop and Elizabeth Bay in the Luderitz environs showcase the weathered remains of the diamond rush that boomed here in the early 1900s. Kolmanskop is particularly worth a visit – this once thriving town is now gradually being reclaimed by the desert sand and makes for a fascinating trip back into time and for eery photo motifs.

Luderitz & Kolmanskop

luderitz safari and tours

Kolmanskop and Lüderitz are intriguing destinations in Namibia, each carrying a rich historical legacy while offering unique glimpses into the nation’s past and present.

Nestled in the far southwestern corner of Namibia, the ghost town of Kolmanskop speaks volumes of a bygone era of opulence. Once the wealthiest town in Southern Africa, its tale began in 1908 with the discovery of a diamond along the railway at Gratsplatz, sparking a 40-year diamond mining era under the then-ruling German empire. The newfound wealth led to modern amenities unheard of then, like a hospital with the southern hemisphere’s first X-ray machine, a ballroom, a skittle alley, and a power station, all adorned in traditional German architecture. However, as the diamond fields waned in the mid-1950s, the once-bustling town was left to the mercy of the encroaching sands of the Namib Desert. Today, a popular tourist attraction and historical site remains, where tours led by local guides narrate the stories of its wealthy residents and miners amidst the eerily beautiful backdrop of sand-engulfed ruins.

A mere 10 kilometres from the haunting allure of Kolmanskop lies the coastal town of Lüderitz. Founded in 1883 by a German merchant, its distinctive Germanic atmosphere is palpable, reflected in its colonial buildings’ Art Nouveau architectural style. The town, once a hub for colonial trading, a concentration camp, and later a diamond prospecting town, has remained small yet charming, with its fishing harbour being a cornerstone of its existence today​.

Lüderitz offers a blend of desert and seaside ambience, juxtaposed against the pristine Atlantic coastline meeting the rugged Namib Desert. The town beckons with historical landmarks like the Felsenkirche evangelical Lutheran church on Diamond Hill, and its proximity to Kolmanskop makes it a gateway to exploring Namibia’s diamond history. Moreover, the surrounding areas are ripe for exploration, from the wild horses near Aus the appealing coastal beaches, to the scenic Bogenfels rock arch. The array of natural and historical attractions, intertwined with tales of a colonial past, make Lüderitz and Kolmanskop fascinating stops on the Namibian trail​.

Description

Lüderitz and its surroundings

The small village of Aus is located about 125 kilometers east of Lüderitz. West of Aus begins the “Dune Namib”, and here you can mostly see a herd of wild horses

Garup was once a small railway station on the railway line from Aus to Lüderitz, completed in 1906. The small station house and the remains of the railway tracks as well as the water reservoir for the steam locomotive can still be visited today.

For the visitor, the nostalgic Lüderitz reveals itself as a very colorful small town, due to the numerous buildings originating from the German colonial period and lovingly maintained in the then popular Art Nouveau and Wilhelminian architectural style. The Evangelical Lutheran rock church from 1911 on the highest level of the city is striking, as well as the Goerke House with its bright blue roof and its grandiose sundial.A visit to the Lüderitz Museum is very worthwhile

Kolmanskop (Kolmanskuppe)

Of particular interest is the ghost town of Kolmanskop, once the center of the diamond industry in Namibia. Within two years after the first diamond was found, Kolmanskuppe was created. A complete place with a school, a first-class equipped hospital, an ice cream factory, a casino with a bowling alley, bakery, butcher and other facilities, as well as exclusive and pompous residential houses. Today this place is abandoned, and dunes have taken over the buildings and give the place a spooky atmosphere.

A trip around the lagoon and Sturmvogel Bay and Große Bucht to the Lüderitz Peninsula with Diaz Point is recommended. There is a small penguin colony on Halifax Island.

Shark Peninsula

The little trip to Shark Island, where the Lüderitz monument is also located, is worth it. From here you have a wonderful view of the Atlantic Ocean, the harbour entrance and the city

Visit the Intriguing and Quirky Town of Luderitz on a Private Tour

Luderitz on a private tour is intriguing due to this town being a bit quirky but quaint. Where it is located, it has the Namib Desert on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other.

Adolf Luderitz purchased the Angra Pequena and surrounding land in 1883 and hence the town of Luderitz was founded. It started as a guano harvesting town with fishing and had a trading post, but when diamonds were discovered in the nearby town of Kolmanskop in 1909, the town reaped the benefits of the new wealth in the area and the influx of more people.

The majority of the buildings in the town are of a German art nouveau architecture that is quite surreal. The best thing about this town is that little has changed in the last hundred years and you feel you are stepping back to the early 1900’s when you are here but only in looks and not facilities. It is a town that has lots to offer a tourist on sightseeing tours.
