About the Parliament Building, Windhoek
The Parliament Building in Windhoek goes by the name Tintenpalast, which is German for Ink Palace. It houses the two chambers of Namibia's parliament, the National Assembly and the National Council. It stands in the Namibian capital, just north of Robert Mugabe Avenue. The surrounding Parliament Gardens are very popular with Windhoek's inhabitants.
The German architect Gottlieb Redecker designed the building with a Neoclassical front facade. The company Sander & Kock constructed it from regional materials, between 1912 and 1913. It was built as an administration building to serve the German government that ruled Namibia as a colony at that time. Forced labor by Herero and Nama people, survivors of the Herero and Nama genocide who had been placed in concentration camps, was used in the project.
The building was opened on April 12, 1913. The name "Tintenpalast", or "Ink Palace", refers to the workers inside, who used a great deal of ink. After Namibia gained independence in 1990, the building took over as the National Assembly's seat.
