Liebig-Haus, Colonial residence in Khomas Hochland, Namibia

Liebig-Haus is a two-storey former residence on Farm Neuheusis, about 42 km west of Windhoek in the Khomashochland. Its large windows face the surrounding highland and a deep rocky gorge. The house stands on fenced private farmland and is visible from the C28 main road.

LEMCO, the Liebig's Extract of Meat Company, bought over 200,000 hectares here in September 1907 and built the house in 1911, naming it after chemist Justus von Liebig. It lodged senior staff. In 1939 the South African government bought the farmland and divided it into 65 farms for new settlers; in 1945 the house passed to the family of photographer Margaret Courtney-Clarke. Wilhelm Hoff bought Neu Heusis in 1964, after which the house stood empty.

The house is named after the chemist Justus von Liebig, whose Liebig's Extract of Meat Company (LEMCO) built it. Locals call it Geisterhaus, or Ghost House, because it has stood empty since Wilhelm Hoff bought the farm in 1964. The building is visible from the C28 main road.

The building can be seen from the C28 main road, but visitors need permission from the current property owners of the Neu Heusis farm to access it. It is advisable to contact them beforehand since the site is on private farmland.

After abandonment in 1964, the building became locally known as Geisterhaus (Ghost House) when Wilhelm Hoff purchased the farm and left the main residence unoccupied. This evocative name has persisted in regional memory and gives the abandoned structure a locally recognized story.
