Faber, John
*

John Faber was a Boer who bought the farm Seskameelboom (later called Rosenhof) from Hendrik Witbooi on 11 October 1896. Apparently he was illiterate and signed with xxx. Faber narrowly escaped with his life when the Witbooi Nama rose in October 1904, while his partner Riethmann was killed.

Faber, Q.
*
---
Q. Faber was of English or French nationality. He was accused of and punished for gun-running for Hendrik Witbooi in October 1892 by German colonial officials. Faber was clearly a friend of Hendrik Witbooi who later acquired some wealth and lived at Rietmond. When the Nama-German war broke out in October 1904, Faber apparently helped a German soldier to a horse and was instructed by Hendrik Witbooi to leave Rietmond for the Botswana border. His family reached Rietfontein but his own fate is unclear.

Fabri, Friedrich Gotthard Karl Ernst
* 12.06.1824 at Schweinfurt, Germany
+ 17.07.1891 at Barmen, Germany
---
Friedrich Gotthard Karl Ernst Fabri was born on 12.06.1824 at Schweinfurt in Germany. He studied theology at Erlangen and Berlin and receive his doctorate at Munich University in 1847. After some years of working as a minister in his native Bavaria and publishing various theological writings, he was appointed the third inspector of the Rheinische Missionsgesellschaft at Barmen in 1857. This post he held until 1884, when he retired and accepted a honourary professorship at the University of Bonn. He developed a particular brand of mission theology that allowed him both to agitate for German participation in the quest for colonies, and to continue as a leader in one of the most prominent German missionary societies. His pamphlet "Bedarf Deutschland der Kolonien?" (Gotha, 1879; 3rd ed. 1884) was most influential in the developing German colonial movement, and the Rhenish Mission involvement in Namibia played a role in Namibia becoming a German colony. Fabri also published about Namibia, although he never travelled to Africa and relied mainly on the missionary correspondence for his information. He died on 17.07.1891 at Barmen.

<FONT size=2>Filemon yElifas lyaShindondola (Shuumbwa) was the 16th Ondonga King and "Chief Minister" of the Ovambo "homeland government" since 1970. On 16.08.1975 <FONT size=2>he was killed in Onamagongwa in the Ondangwa area. SWAPO National Chairman David Meroro denied that SWAPO was responsible for his death. Many SWAPO supporters, inter alia the leader of SWAPO in Ovamboland, Skinny Hilundwa, were arrested after the killing of Elifas. Many of SA’s subsequent suppression measures were carried out in terms of legislation which had now been made applicable to Namibia, namely the Riotous Assemblies Act of 1956 and the Suppression of Communism Act of 1950, which was later renamed the State Security Act of 1950. Aaron Mushimba, Axel Johannes, Hendrik Shikongo and Victor Nkandi were all arrested together and sentenced to death in the Swakopmund trial. After hearing argument on appeal, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of South Africa in Bloemfontein set aside the conviction and sentences on the ground of irregularities in the court proceedings (March 1977 and 24.10.1977 in the case of Nkandi). All the accused were released and went into exile. Consequently thousands of SWAPO-members, mainly young people, fled to Zambia. <FONT size=2>Filemon yElifas was followed by <FONT size=2>Immanuel Elifas (Kauluma)(1975-).

Biographical information about Adolf Fischer is scarce. He participated in the German-Namibian war as a military officer during 1904-1906, then served as district officer and commander of Fort Namutoni, and later at the station Koës. In 1912 he returned to Germany, but later moved to Denmark. He wrote two books about Namibia ("Menschen und Tiere in Südwestafrika", 1914, and "Südwester Offiziere", 1935), which differ from the bulk of German colonial literature by a remarkable lack of racism and considerable sympathy for the anticolonial struggle of Namibians. Fischer allegedly died in 1946.

Fischer, Eugen, Prof. Dr.
* 05.06.1874 in Karlsruhe/Germany
+ 09.07.1967 in Freiburg/Germany
First entry to Namibia: 1905
---
Eugen Fischer was born on 05.06.1874 at Karlsruhe in Germany. He was a physical anthropologist and race biologist and one of the Nazi racial theorists, responsible for the pseudoscientific theories that led to the German Holocaust of millions of innocent people in the 1940s. <FONT size=2>During the German Namibian War 1903-1908, Fischer was invited to German SWA as an anthropologist and geneticist of the University in Freiburg (Germany) to study the Ovaherero. He co-authored (together with Erwin Baur and Fritz Lentz)<FONT size=2> the book "Menschliche Erblehre und Rassenhygiene (Human Hereditary Teaching and Racial Hygiene)(1921)"<FONT size=2> in which he claimed that the Ovaherero were "animals", that the German race was superior and he supported the idea of establishing concentration camps in SWA, where every second of the thousands of Namibian inmates had died. In 1905 he issued warnings about the "dangers of race-mixing" between German colonists and African women. Such thinking underpinned the inhuman treatment of Africans in a foretaste of things to come for Jews, Blacks, Gypsies and other minority groups in Germany during the 1930s and 1940s. In February 1907 <FONT size=2>the Nama leader Cornelius Frederiks died in the concentration camp on Shark Island near Lüderitz. His decapitated body was used by Fischer to prove his racial theories of the superiority of the German race. <FONT size=2>He used German South West Africa as a field site for the development of later notorious theories on European racial superiority. Fischer studied the bodies of 17 Nama prisoners of war who have perished on Shark Island near Lüderitz. The deceased bodies of these Nama fighters who had surrendered to the Germans in March 1906, were decapitated. A published photograph of two heads supposedly provided visual evidence to support the "scientific" arguments for German racial superiority over the Africans (See: Fetzer, Christian: Rassenanatomische Untersuchungen an 17 Hottentottenköpfen, Zeitschrift für Morphologie und Anthropologie, Bd. XVI). For the year 1906 it was reported that altogether 778 post-mortem tests were conducted. Consequently also skulls were collected, which Ovaherero female prisoners-of-war were forced to scrape clean with the aid of glass shards.

Fischer's field research in Rehoboth 1908 tried to establish the validity of Mendel's heredity laws on humans. In 1913, Fischer earned a reputation by publishing his field research concerning the questions of race crossbreeding in Namibia "Die Rehobother Bastards und das Bastardisierungsproblem beim Menschen (The Bastards of Rehoboth and the problem of Miscegenation in Man)". There he wrote: "We should provide them with the minimum amount of protection which they require, for survival as a race inferior to ourselves, and we should do this only as long as they are useful to us. After this, free competition should prevail and, in my opinion, this will lead to their decline and destruction".
His work was used to justify Nazi race theories and practices. In 1921 he wrote, as mentioned above, one of the standard works of German racialism "Menschliche Erblehre und Rassenhygiene (Human Hereditary Teaching and Racial Hygiene)". During Adolf Hitler's imprisonment, after his failed "putsch" against the German democratic Government on 09.11.1923, at the fortress of Landsberg in Bavaria/Germany in 1923, he read Fischer's book. Fischer's ideas of a German supreme race and the ideas of concentration camps inspired Hitler to write his book "Mein Kampf (pages 2, 3, 9, 19, 22, 30, 31, 37, 41, 46, 50)". From 1927 (before Hitler came to power in Germany in January 1933) until 1942 Fischer was the Director of the "Kaiser-Wilhelm-Institut für Anthropologie (KWG)" in Berlin-Dahlem, when Hitler made him the Vice Chancellor (Rector) of the Friedrich Wilhelm University in Berlin. One of his students was the "Father of South African Apartheid" and later South African Prime Minister, Hendrik Frensch Verwoerd (1901-1966). In 1934, Hitler began implementing the sterilisation programme against "blacks", Jews and Gypsies using Fischer's studies to justify it. During the same year, Hitler placed Fischer in charge of training SS doctors who later conducted their "medical experiments" on the inmates of German concentration camps during World War II. Since 1937 he was a Member of the Prussian Academy for Science. In 1938 or 1939 Fischer published the study "Racial Origin and Racial History of the Hebrews". Hitler took the book as factual and began sending Jews into the concentration camps. Fischer was also the co-author of a publication (among many others)(together with Gerhard Kittel) in a series "Research on Jewish Issues" ("Forschungen zur Judenfrage"): "Das antike Judentum" (1942). On 23.03.1942, Alfred Rosenberg, Minister of the Occupied Eastern Territories, wrote about the possible employment of staff for his projected Reich Centre for Research on the East: " ... I have thought of Geheimrat Eugen Fischer, a person who represents biological research and is a leading member of the KWG". Fischer retired from the Berlin University in 1942 (his successor was Dr. Otmar Verschuer, who published the book "Racial Biology of the Jews" which also made Hitler's nightstand). On 10.06.1944 Fischer accepted the chairmanship of a workshop at the "Anti-Jewish Congress" to be convened in Krakow. In his opening speech he stated: "Dear Reichsminister! That you intend to create a scientific front line for the defence of European culture against the influence of Jewry, and to call together for that purpose scientists from all the nations fighting Jewry, seems to me a very good idea and absolutely necessary ... ". After World War II, Fischer completed his memoirs "Begegnungen mit Toten (Encounters with the Dead)", which whitewashed his role in the genocidal programme of the Third Reich. The book carefully avoided mention of the millions of innocent people who suffered through the application of the Nazi racial theories he had espoused. Fischer was not punished as one of the instigators of the German Holocaust and a top Nazi and was denazified only as "follower". In spite of his past activities, in 1952 Fischer became the Honourary President of the newly founded German Anthropological Society in the Federal Republic of Germany (Western Germany). It has still to be established whether he ever visited South Africa and Namibia again after the Second World War, when in South Africa Fischer's Apartheid ideas, under the auspices of his former student, Hendrik Frensch Verwoerd, grew into fruition. He died on 09.07.1967 in Freiburg.

Erich Victor Carl August Franke was born on 21.07.1865 at Zuckmantel, Silesia (Schlesien), Germany (now Poland). After his schooling in Silesia, he joined the German Army. He came to Namibia as a Schutztruppe officer in June 1896. He was Bezirksamtmann in various places (Outjo 1899-1910), and travelled extensively, most notably in Ovamboland and the Kaokoveld. He took part in many campaigns against the resistance of Namibian communities against German colonial rule. He is celebrated in settler circles as the "Hero of Omaruru" after he succeeded to relieve the towns of Omaruru, Okahandja and Windhoek at the beginning of the German-Ovaherero War 1904. After the battle of Otjihinamaparero on 27.02.1904 he wrote into his diary: <FONT size=2>"A wounded man with a terribly damaged leg is brought in . ... He is questioned and then shot, Von Arnim executes him properly. He is shot from the back without noticing what is happening to the unfortunate man." At the beginning of World War I, Franke led a counter-attack on Portuguese forces at Naulila in Angola. He took over the command of the Schutztruppe after the death of von Heydebreck on 12.11.1914. He signed the capitulation treaty (Khorab treaty) in 1915. He left Namibia in 1919, and retired as Major-General from the German army in 1920. Later he lived for some time in Brazil. - Franke left an extremely interesting, very personal diary (a copy of which is available at the National Archives of Namibia and is in the process to be published: the first volume from 26.05.1896 to 27.05.1904 was published in 2003) and was known as a competent and ruthless but notoriously difficult commander, traits that were exacerbated by his morphine addiction. He died on 07.09.1936 at Hamburg in Germany.

Cornelius Frederiks was a church elder and leader of the larger part of the Bethany community. He was the rival of Bethany Captain Paul Frederiks (1893-1906). He was a staunch supporter of Hendrik Witbooi and fighter against German colonialism and member of the "Witkamskap". He is mentioned in Witbooi's "Debt Book" 1891 as the source of eight horses. Cornelius Frederiks joined Hendrik Witbooi in 1894 for the battles against the Germans in the Naukluft Mountains. He served in the Witbooi regiment under German command at the beginning of the Ovaherero War 1904. He joined Hendrik Witbooi with his faction of the Bethany people during the beginning of the Great Resistance War of the Nama communities against the Germans in October 1904. He was commanding many war operations against the German forces, some together with the !Gami-#nun (Bondelswarts) under Abraham Morris in the lower Fish River area, then with Jakob Marengo in the Karas Mountains, later again north of Bethany with Hendrik Brandt and Ovaherero fighters under Chief Andreas. The Germans, who usually referred to him just as "Cornelius", considered him one of their most dangerous enemies, and put a price of 3 000 Mark on his head. They finally forced him to surrender with his people on 03.03.1906. The Bethany people were then imprisoned in the notorious Shark Island concentration camp near Lüderitz, where more than half of them died, including Cornelius Frederiks himself (on 16.02.1907). The "geneticist" Eugen Fischer studied the bodies of 17 Nama prisoners of war who had perished in the concentration Shark Island. One of the decapitated bodies was that of Cornelius Frederiks.

David Christian Frederiks was the Captain of the !Aman (Bethany Nama) from 1842-1880. He followed Captain Joseph Frederiks I (1825-1842) who died in 1842 at Bethany. He was the third in the recorded genealogy of the !Aman captains. In October 1850 he was not able to stop the group of the Goliath Nama under the leadership of Paul Goliath (#Hobexab) to split from the !Aman and to move to !Autsawises (Berseba). Around 1856 the Great Namaqua Mining Company tried to obtain mining rights from David Christian. He was one of the signatories to the Hoachanas Peace Accord of January 1858. 1863 Frederiks gave a mining concession to Benjamin Sinclair which was later taken over by the Pomona Mining Company. 1864 the mining of copper, silver and lead commenced. In July 1865 Frederiks, together with Kido Witbooi and Paul Goliath, was defeated by Captain ||Oaseb of the Kai||khaun (Red Nation of Hoachanas). In December 1867 the Peace Accord of Gibeon (Orlam Peace of 1867) was concluded between Kido Witbooi, Paul Goliath and David Christian Frederiks. In September 1870 he participated in the Okahandja Peace Conference. In June 1880 he advised William Coates Palgrave to leave the territory. David Christian Frederiks was killed during fighting with the Ovaherero near Otjikango (Gross-Barmen) on 12.12.1880, and was succeeded by his stepson and nephew Josef Frederiks II (!Korebeb-||Naixab)(1880-1893).

Johannes Frederiks was a schoolmaster, scribe and interpreter at Gibeon. He stayed behind when Hendrik Witbooi left Gibeon in 1885. In 1887 he was expelled from Gibeon by Moses Witbooi and forced to live at an outstation: this seems to have been related to his loyalties to missionary Rust, who by that stage was identified with German efforts of colonisation.

He also concluded a protection treaty with the Germans in October 1884 (with Gustav Nachtigal). Frederiks died on 20.10.1893 at Bethany. He was succeeded by Paul Frederiks (1893-1906).

Henry Bartle Edward Frere was born on 29.03.1815 at Llanelly in Wales in the United Kingdom. He was the Governor of the Cape Colony and High Commissioner from 31 March 1877 to 15 September 1880. He repeatedly recommended that Walvis Bay be annexed to the Cape Colony and that a protectorate be declared over the territory up to the Transvaal in the east and the Kunene in the north. However, he was authorised by the Colonial Office to annex only Walvis Bay, which was done by Staff - Commander Richard C. Dyer on 12 March 1878. He was initially sent to the Cape Colony in South Africa to carry out plans for the Confederation of South Africa, but met with insurmountable obstacles such as the Frontier War five months after his arrival and the Zulu War (which commenced with the overwhelming defeat of the British at Isandlwana) shortly after. British public opinion and the government held him responsible, and he was recalled in 1880. He died on 29.05.1884 at London.
