Reinhold Kloppe, Windhoek, Namibia / Swinemünde-Harzgerode, GermanyGerda Wilhelmine Emilie Kloppe, (1919 Windhoek, Namibia - 1994 Swinemünde-Harzgerode, Germany)
Reinhold Kloppe (born 1882 in Harzgerode) was a government official in Brakwater, a district Windhoek. Exactly when the family returned to Germany and if it was by the end of German colonial rule or later, is not documented. We only have a certified translation of the birth certificate from 1942 of his daughter Gerda Wilhelmine Emilie Kloppe, who was born in 1919 in Windhoek, during the time that German Southwest was under a South African mandate. When the family returned to Germany, they brought presents from the Nama and Ovambo in their luggage with them.
