Hohenzollern Building, Colonial architectural monument in Swakopmund, Namibia.
The Hohenzollern Building is a monument in Swakopmund and displays Neo-Baroque style with elaborate details on its facade. A striking Atlas statue sits above the entrance and holds a globe.
The building was constructed between 1904 and 1906 under architect Erhard Roxin's direction as a hotel house. After restoration in 1988, it was converted into apartments.
The building displays German colonial architecture with Bavarian design elements that remain visible today. These style features shape Swakopmund's streetscape and reflect the European past of the city.
The building sits at the intersection of Libertina Amathila Avenue and Tobias Hainyeko Street in the city center. The location is easy to find and visible from the street for exterior viewing.
The Atlas statue was replaced in 1988 after the original cement material deteriorated from decades of weather exposure. The new version is made of plaster-of-Paris instead.
