Hohenzollern Building, Colonial architectural monument in Swakopmund, Namibia.
The Hohenzollern Building features a Neo-Baroque architectural style with a prominent statue of Atlas holding a globe above its front entrance.
Built between 1904 and 1906 under architect Erhard Roxin's direction, the structure initially operated as a hotel until 1912 when it lost its license.
The building represents German colonial influence in Namibia through its Bavarian-inspired design elements and stands as a testament to early 20th-century architecture.
Located at the intersection of Libertina Amathila Avenue and Tobias Hainyeko Street, the building now contains private apartments following its 1988 restoration.
The Atlas statue underwent replacement in 1988, transitioning from cement to plaster-of-Paris due to material deterioration over decades of exposure.
