Baumgartsbrunn is a farm with a school , school village and vocational school in the Khomas region in central Namibia , around 35 kilometers west of the capital Windhoek .

background

The German steel manager Helmut Bleks founded a school together with his wife Traudel on their Baumgartsbrunn farm in 1972 , which is now run by the state. The vocational school will continue to be run by the Helmut Bleks Foundation and the lodge by the Baumgartsbrunn Foundation . There is a close connection to the Schillergymnasium in Münster . The vocational school is also supported by the Rotary Club Lahr .

In 1991 the vocational school for women, the Institute for Domestic Science & Agriculture (in German about Institute for Home Economics and Agriculture ) was founded. In 2010, the ruling SWAPO party demanded that the vocational school be taken over because of “inhuman treatment of students”.

Over the years, more and more people, especially Damara , have settled on the farmland surrounding the school . In 2009, after disputes, the residents were granted the exclusive right to use 300 hectares of the farm. Baumgartsbrunn has a clinic .
