Город существовал с 1908 года, когда были обнаружены алмазы и до 1956 года когда последние поселенцы покинули город в связи с истощением запасов алмазов. Добыча компании НамДеб (Де Бирс) переместилась на 270 км южнее на побережье Атлантического океана к устью реки Оранжевой и городу Ораньемунд. Kolmanskop's name derives from a driver, Johnny Coleman who once was lost and overnighted next to the settlement. The name means “Coleman’s Hill” in Afrikaans (German: Kolmannskuppe). Abandoned ghost town Kolmanskop's ruins are scattered in the Namib Desert 10 km east of the coastal town of Luderitz. Formerly, a train line ran eastwards from the coast at Luderitz to the larger town of Keetmanshoop, where it connected with a northern line to the capital. Diamonds were discovered here in 1908 by Zacharias Lewala, a Luderitz - Keetmanshoop railway employee. He showed it to August Stauch, the line inspector of the line and a former employee of De Beers in South Africa, who took the stones to Luderitz for an expert opinion. The stones were diamonds. All the available ground around Luderitz was quickly pegged out and claimed. Laborers, organised in search lines and muffled against the blowing sands, crawled along on all fours armed with jam jars. The diamonds were picked off the ground and the jars filled rapidly. One of the first discoveries was made just before nightfall, so prospecting continued long into the night, with the glimmer of stones identifiable by moonlight. Kolmanskop grew out of the diamond boom. The region was administered by Germany at the beginning of the century and the town reflected this in its character. It was said of the Germans that only after they had finished building the pub and the skittle alley, their favorite form of relaxation, did they start looking for suitable plots to build their houses. In 1912, the area produced one million carats or 11.7 per cent of the world’s total diamond production. Fresh water was bought in by rail from 120 km away and pumped into storage tanks. The water nurtured lush gardens with manicured lawns, rose beds and eucalyptus trees. World War I interrupted mining operations. The resumption of mining after the war led to the slow depletion of deposits. By the early-’30s, the area was in decline. The town’s demise was accelerated by the discovery in 1928 of the richest diamond-bearing deposits ever known on the beach terraces 270 km south of Kolmanskop, near the Orange River mouth. Many of the town’s inhabitants joined the rush to the south, leaving their homes behind. Kolmanskop retained some importance as a supply depot for other mining operations, including those on the Orange River. The last families finally deserted the town in 1956. © Exploring Namibia TV EQUIPMENT | ОБОРУДОВАНИЕ: AERIAL: DJI PHANTOM 3 PRO | DJI MAVIC PRO PHONES: IPHONE XR | XIAOMI REDMI NOTE VIDEO CAMERAS: SONY HDR-CX360E | PANASONIC HC-X1 ✩SUBSCRIBE | ПОДПИСАТЬСЯ ►https://goo.gl/17OXAc ✩FACEBOOK | ФБ ДРОНСБЕРГ ►  / dronebserg   ✩FACEBOOK | ФБ ►  / exploringnamibiatv   ✩BLOG | БЛОГ ►http://sa-nam-news.blogspot.com ✩YANDEX | ЯНДЕКС ДЗЕН ►https://bit.ly/2Mn7GuQ ✩VK EN TV | ГРУППА ВК ►https://vk.com/club135731344 ✩VK ETS | СТРАНИЦА ВК ►https://goo.gl/SgVpXb ✩VK DRONESBERG | СТРАНИЦА ВК ►https://goo.gl/QzsSL4 ✩INSTAGRAM | ИНСТАГРАМ ►  / dronenamibia   ✩TUMBLR | ТУМБЛР ►  / dronenamibia   ✩TWITTER | ТВИТТЕР ДРОНСБЕРГ ►  / dronesberg   ✩TWITTER | ТВИТТЕР ►  / traveltonamibia   ✩PINTEREST | ПИНТРЕРЕСТ ►https://goo.gl/Q9dzQ2 ✩LIVEJOURNAL | ЖЖ ►http://traveltonamibia.livejournal.com ✩PURCHASE VIDEO AD | ПОРТФОЛИО AD ►https://adobe.ly/36VaRDz ✩PURCHASE VIDEO P5 | ПОРТФОЛИО P5 ►https://bit.ly/2Vvbb6L ✩WEBSITE | САЙТ ►www.traveltonamibia.com ✩CONTACT | КОНТАКТЫ ►info@traveltonamibia.com | namhren@gmail.com ✩WHATSUP TEXT | ВОТСАП ТЕКСТ: +264 817 666862
