This evocative photograph, taken circa 1912, captures the grandeur and militaristic essence of the German presence through the image of the barracks that stood proudly in the town. The barracks, with their crenellated roofs and imposing facade, exude an air of authority and discipline. The intricate architectural details, such as the arched windows and ornate brickwork, speak to the meticulous planning and execution that went into constructing these structures. The buildings, which housed the German military forces, served as a testament to the power and might of the colonial regime.
