Submission by Tim Gassauer.
Title: »Lüderitz«
The work "Lüderitz" is set in two places that are around 12,000 kilometers apart and yet share the same name: Lüderitz in northern Saxony-Anhalt and Lüderitz in southwestern Namibia. The former is the origin of the von Lüderitz family, from which the merchant Adolf Lüderitz later emerged. In 1883, he laid the foundation for the consequential colonization of what is now Namibia by fraudulently acquiring land. The starting point was a place named after him: Lüderitz. From then on, this was to be the new home for German settlers who followed the colonial promises of money and habitat to what was then known as "German South West Africa". Until 1915, the country was under the violent "protection" of the German Reich and was at the same time the site of rich diamond deposits and the scene of the first genocide in the 20th century.
