EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1908, offers a glimpse into the past of Bethanien, a historic settlement located in the south western region of Africa, now known as Namibia. At the time, Bethanien was part of German South-West Africa, a colonial territory under German rule. The image showcases a panoramic view of the settlement, with its distinctive architectural landscape dominating the frame. The photograph features a collection of European-style buildings, including a prominent church with a tall, red-roofed steeple, and a train station with smokestacks belching out plumes of steam. These structures served as the hub of the German mission and administrative center, reflecting the influence of European colonialism in the region. The church, with its Gothic Revival design, stands as a symbol of the religious missionaries who arrived in Bethanien to spread Christianity among the indigenous population. The train station, an essential link to the outside world, facilitated the movement of goods, people, and ideas between the settlement and other parts of the colony. This photograph offers a fascinating window into the history of Bethanien during the early 1900s, a time of significant change and transformation in the region. It provides a visual record of a bygone era, capturing the essence of a colonial outpost that once thrived in the heart of south west Africa.
