The Klein-Nauas-Schutztruppenturm stands as a stone fortification at the intersection of roads C15 and D1448, 43 kilometers north of Uhlenhorst and 77 kilometers east of Rehoboth.
German colonial forces constructed this defense tower in 1914 during their occupation of South West Africa, establishing it as part of a network of military fortifications.
The structure represents the architectural methods of German colonial military construction and serves as a physical record of early 20th-century European presence in Africa.

The tower's position at -23.32554 latitude and 17.84231 longitude offers views across the surrounding terrain, maintaining its original strategic observation purpose.
