John Ludwig's Mausoleum in Ludwigsdorf, Windhoek

The the small graveyard and the mausoleum is located in Willemien Street, Ludwigsdorf, Windhoek.

Small cemetery contains graves of the Ludwig and Hopfner families, ten other adults and six children including John and Lida Ludwig’s children, Angela and John.

John Ludwig’s graveyard and mausoleum was proclaimed a national monument on 01 May 1967 due to its historical importance as well as for the architectural significance of its mausoleum.

John Ludwig is considered the founder of Klein Windhoek. Born in Germany on 03 April 1857, he bought a farm in Griqualand West in South Africa after completion of his service in the Cape Police. Unfortunately his farm was sold by auction in his absence when he was travelling in then German South West Africa that led to his decision to emigrate to Namibia in 1887. John Ludwig worked as a driver for the German Schutztruppe for some time and he moved to Windhoek in 1892 settling in Klein Windhoek.

Some of his endeavors included a restaurant "Ludwigslust" as well as tobacco farming. John Ludwig died in Windhoek on 27 February 1913 after a stomach surgery and was the first person to be buried in Klein Windhoek cemetery. His wife Lida died in 1954 and buried beside him.
