Interesting Book: Novel titled "Du Heiliges Land", By Clara Brockmann set in the time of the Diamond rush in German South-West Afrika. In 1956 the last people left Kolmanskop. After the mining had stopped, Kolmanskop was used as a transport depot and the hospital was still functioning. In 1956 these all closed down, leaving the once flourishing town to the wrath of the elements. It was a very cheap source of doors, windows and Oregon pine flooring etc, for passers-by. In 1979 CDM commissioned and architectural group to assess the potential of the ghost town. They put forward recommendations and in 1980 restoration began and CDM opened it to tourism. In 1989 over 15 000 peopled visited Kolmanskop.
