Prinzessin Rupprecht Heim
Prinzessin Rupprecht Heim, National monument and former hospital in Swakopmund, Namibia.
The Prinzessin Rupprecht Heim stands on Anton Lubowski Street with high roofs, gables, and dormer windows, exhibiting classical architectural elements.
Built in 1902 as a military hospital, the structure was converted into a convalescent center by the German Red Cross in 1914.
The building's name honors Marie Gabrielle, wife of Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria, reflecting German-Namibian historical connections.
Located near the Namibian coast, the building now functions as both a sanatorium and retirement home while offering accommodation for tourists.
Original patient rooms retain their names from Bavarian cities, commemorating Red Cross local associations that funded the 1913 renovation.
