Map ǃNamiǂNûs (constituency) in Namibia

ǃNamiǂNûs (until August 8, 2013 Lüderitz ) is a constituency in the Namibian region of ǁKaras . It surrounds the city of Lüderitz , after which it was originally named.

With an area of ​​48,225 square kilometers and 13,859 inhabitants (2011), ǃNamiǂNûs is one of the largest, but also the most sparsely populated constituencies in Namibia . The area essentially forms the entire western part of the ǁKaras region .

In the west, the constituency borders on the South Atlantic , which is relatively cool here due to the Benguela Current, and therefore consists largely of desert , which explains the low population density. The circle includes the following landscapes:

In Khoekhoegowab , ǃNamiǂNûs means embrace . The name is said to go back to the first inhabitants of the area, the ǃAman , a subgroup of the Nama .
