Introduction
Neudamm Campus and Farm spreads over 10 187 hectares and is ±
30 kilometres east from Windhoek on the Hosea Kutako International
Airport and Gobabis road. Recorded history shows that during 1897,
a grazing license holder returned this farm to the Land Council, as he
was unable to find water. During the German-Herero War (1904 – 05)
the farm was used by the German authorities for grazing for cattle and
sheep seized during the war. During this time, Albert Voigts constructed
the first large dam in Namibia, hence the
name “Neudamm” (New Dam).
The campus are predominantly accommodating studies in the Faculty
of Agriculture, Engineering & Natural Sciences, within
the School of Agriculture & Fisheries Sciences.
