.Brief History
F Kramer designed it in 1912 and occupied it himself. Kramer ran the technical division of Woerman, Brock & Co and established a light industrial plant outside Swakopmund. This suburb was called after him. After him, his collegues were accomodated there. Later, it was used as a boy's hostel supervised by Major Oskar Scultetus. Afterwards it was taken over by the South West Africa Company and renamed "Jubilee House". It served as holiday residence for its employees.
