The Lüderitz train station is a historic monument and former train station in the coastal town of Lüderitz in the southwest of Namibia . The building was built in 1904 and was declared a National Monument on December 13, 1976 .
The station was built to improve the infrastructural connection of the port of Lüderitz to the inland. The background was the transport of weapons to fight the uprising of the Herero and Nama .
The station was used again for the first time after the route to Aus was renovated on November 19, 2014, which was the first time in 18 years that a train entered Lüderitz .
