Delegations from the colonial powers met for a conference to negotiate their claims to territories in Africa. The so-called Congo Conference left traces that can still be found even in remote places such as B\u00fcllsPort in the southern centre of Namibia&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The Congo Conference (see <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Berlin_Conference\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wikipedia<\/a>) began on 15 November 1884. It concluded on 26 February 1885. The delegates signed the so-called General Act of Berlin, also known as the Congo Act.<\/p>\n<p>The German Empire&#8217;s aim in the negotiations was to have its interests acknowledged, including South West Africa. This was the area between the Portuguese colony of Angola in the north and the British Cape Colony in the south. To the east, it bordered the British protectorate of Betchuanaland (now Botswana).<\/p>\n<p>Barely seven months earlier the German Empire had promised the Bremen merchant Adolf L\u00fcderitz protection of his land. This was a strip of land on the coast between present-day L\u00fcderitz and the Gariep (Oranje) River. L\u00fcderitz had acquired this land from Nama leader Joseph Frederiks in 1883.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Only 12,000 German settlers in German South-West Africa<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>In the beginning, the Germans in South West Africa were primarily interested in mineral resources for their emerging industry. Later, plans for a settler colony were added. During the population explosion and industrialisation, several million Germans emigrated in the 19th century and early 20th century &#8211; mainly to the USA.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Deutsch S\u00fcdwest&#8217; was the most popular German colony. Nevertheless, and despite the diamond rush at Kolmanskop near L\u00fcderitz from 1908, only around 12,000 German settlers were counted in 1913.<\/p>\n<p>One year later, World War I broke out. The Union of South Africa fought alongside Great Britain against the German Empire. On 7 July 1915, the German Schutztruppe, which was far inferior to the South African army, surrendered.<\/p>\n<p>This marked the end of the German colonial era in South West Africa after just 31 years. South Africa administered the country until Namibia&#8217;s independence in 1990.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Police station with a view<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div id=\"attachment_9183\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9183\" class=\"wp-image-9183 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/buellsport-naukluft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/24-11-15-polizeistation-buellsport-uni-frankfurt-kolonialarchiv-19XX-web-800-x-533.jpg\" alt=\"Police station B\u00fcllsPort Weg Tsondab-Tal Naukluft-Gebirge Kolonie Deutsch S\u00fcdwest-Afrika 1884 1915 Koloniales Bildarchiv Universit\u00e4tsbibliothek Frankfurt am Main\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buellsport-naukluft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/24-11-15-polizeistation-buellsport-uni-frankfurt-kolonialarchiv-19XX-web-800-x-533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/buellsport-naukluft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/24-11-15-polizeistation-buellsport-uni-frankfurt-kolonialarchiv-19XX-web-800-x-533-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 800px, 100vw\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-9183\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Police station at B\u00fcllsPort near the road along the Tsondab Valley through the Naukluft Mountains in the former colony of German Southwest Africa (1884 &#8211; 1915).
