The African home calendar was a folk calendar published from 1930 to 2009 in South West Africa or Namibia . It was relocated by the Federation Council of the German Federation of Churches in South and Southwest Africa until 1958 and then by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Namibia (DELK) (until 1990 the German Evangelical Lutheran Church in Southwest Africa ).

The bishops of the DELK were always responsible, in the early years also well-known missionaries such as Heinrich Vedder .

The African home calendar dealt with church topics as well as regional studies, contemporary issues and questions of Namibian history. The yearbook was printed by John Meinert Printing . The front page always showed a camel thorn .

The yearbook has been published under the name Perspektiven since 2010 and was finally discontinued in 2018.
