Street name

Lüderitzstraße

Schwachhausen

In 1883 the Bremen tobacco trader Adolf Lüderitz acquired land in present-day Namibia through fraudulent contracts — the beginning of the colony of German South-West Africa. His name stands for the close entanglement of Bremen's trading houses with colonialism.
