Information About the City :

Maltahöhe, the district capital of Hardap, Namibia, is located in the southern part of the country along the B1 national road between Mariental and Gibeon.

With an elevation of 1,139 meters, Maltahöhe is known for its arid climate, with hot summers and cold winters.

Maltahöhe's name originates from the German words "Maltahöhe," meaning "malt hill," referring to a small hill near the settlement where barley was once grown for brewing.

The town was established in 1898 as a railway station and depot during the construction of the railway line from Windhoek to Keetmanshoop.

Maltahöhe played a crucial role in Namibia's history, serving as a military base during the German colonial period and later during the South African administration.

The town is situated in a vast and sparsely populated area, with a population of around 2,500 inhabitants according to the 2011 census.

The economy of Maltahöhe is primarily driven by agriculture, with sheep and goat farming being the major industries.

Maltahöhe is known for its annual "Hardap Wildsfees" festival, which celebrates the region's biodiversity and conservation efforts.

The town has several historical landmarks, including the Maltahöhe Railway Station, which has been restored and serves as a museum.

Maltahöhe is also home to the Hardap Dam, which is the second largest dam in Namibia and provides a vital source of water for the surrounding area.

The town boasts a small but significant population of Nama people, who have preserved their traditional language, culture, and customs.

Despite its relatively small size, Maltahöhe has produced several notable personalities, including the politician and anti-apartheid activist Clemens Kapuuo.

Maltahöhe is not listed as a UNESCO heritage site, but it has several places of historical and cultural significance.

The town has a rich tradition of storytelling, traditional music, and dance, which are often showcased during local festivals.

Maltahöhe's future development plans focus on promoting tourism, attracting investment, and improving living conditions for its residents.
