The most notable remnant of Germany's influence over Namibia.
The Christus Kirche (Christ's Church), was officially consecrated on 16th October 1910 and is the oldest Evangelical Lutheran church in Namibia. Gottlieb Redecker , a German government architect, drew up the first designs in 1900 and 1901.
The walls were constructed from sandstone and the portal of Italian Carrarian marble, features that complement the neo-Romanic style, combined with an art nouveau influence.
A favourite with tourists.
Services are still held in the church and are conducted in German.

City/town information
Windhoek is capital city of Namibia with a population of around 500,000. The name Windhoek is derived from the Afrikaans meaning "windy corner". The San people first populated the area thousands of years ago.
The precise moment of the city's founding is unclear but by the 19th century, the local tribes known as the Namas & Herero referred to the area as "/Ai-//Gams" and "Otjomuise" respectively. Both names are references to the hot springs located in the area.
Windhoek is known for its cleanliness and German/South African influences from its colonial past. Due to its hilly surrounding the international airport “Hosea Kutako” is situated forty kilometres although a smaller airport (Eros Airpot) is located within the city
