My visit to Kolmanns in Youtube.

If you have a slow system, halt the video after you started, wait some minutes while your system loads that video

Hi there,

Not sure if this is the right topic to write in. If I am wrong, please feel free to (re)move my post.

I'm doing some research on Kolmanskop and I came across different tellings from different sources. Maybe some of you guys can lead me into the right direction?

Let's take this picture from the attachment. Some say, the building on the left hand side is the house of the bookkeeper, some says it is the house of the architekt, some say it is the house of Hans Hörlein.
The building on the right hand side might be the house of Leonhard Kolle or Hans Hörlein - it differs from source to source.

Does someone know what is correct or how and why there are different stories from different sources?

[Michael Alexander]

Micha, interesting question, it's a pity you did'nt post it 3 weeks ago, Anita Reschke was staying with my in laws and she use to live in Kolmanskuppe..... nevertheless , I am sure we will find reference to the house from other members....

[micha]

Oh noo :( It is really a pity. It would be so interesting to talk to someone who used to live there.

From what I've read on the internet and have been told this was an architect's house. I'm not so clever on here but will try and work out how to send the links. I must have a look through some more photo's there may even be one of it in its Hey Day. Can you remember if there was Leon ?

According to Zigfried Mans - a guide at Kolman's early 1980's . it was the Architect's house
