Christuskerk en Ruiterstandbeeld in Windhoek dateer uit die Duitse koloniale tydperk.

Windhoek is oorspronklik in 1870 as 'n Rynse sendingstasie gestig; die naam Windhoek is afgelei van die Nama-woord vir "Plek van rook". Die huidige stad is in Oktober 1890 deur kaptein Curt von François gestig. Die Duitse koloniale owerheid het baie geld aan die ontwikkeling van die stad bestee en vandag nog huisves dit pragtige geboue uit die Duitse koloniale tydperk soos die Christuskerk en die Tintenpalast (letterlik "Inkpaleis").

Die stad groei in die tydperk ná 1907 baie vinnig en lok talle mense uit die binne- en buiteland, waaronder 'n groot aantal immigrante uit Duitsland en Suid-Afrika.

In die Eerste Wêreldoorlog is Windhoek op 13 Mei 1915 deur Unie-magte beset, toe Duitse troepe die stad ontruim het. Die Duitse atmosfeer, vermeng met talle ander kulturele elemente, het egter voortgeleef en dit is vandag die tuiste van die enigste Duitse dagblad in Afrika, die Allgemeine Zeitung en 'n groot, Duitse privaat skool, die Deutsche Höhere Privatschule (DHPS).


Villa Kruger, a luxury guest house on the shores of Lake Leman. The house is renowned not only for its superb setting, tasteful interior decor, excellent cuisine and genuine South African hospitality, but is also of special historical significance to South Africans. Restored to its former glory in 1997 this was the final home of Paul Kruger, the last President of the ZAR (Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek/ South African Republic)

Situated directly on the lake promenade of Clarens and affording magnificent views across Lake Geneva, it is an amazing oasis of peace and quiet, yet only a short walk away from the bustle of Montreux.
