Ottoshoop (original) (raw)
- 4.95
- Ottoshoop [ɔtɔshʊəp] liegt nördlich von Lichtenburg in der südafrikanischen Provinz Nordwest. Der Ort befindet sich auf einer Höhe von 1417 Metern über dem Meeresspiegel und liegt ungefähr 50 Kilometer nördlich von Lichtenburg. Im Jahr 2011 hatte Ottoshoop 2043 Einwohner. Ursprünglich hieß der Ort Malmani, abgeleitet vom Tswana-Wort Melemani, deutsch: „Wasserstelle“. Seine Entwicklung begann um 1875, als dort Gold gefunden wurde. Damals wurden große Pläne entworfen. Der Ort wurde nach dem Magistrat Cornelius Otto benannt und der Hoffnung, die er damals geschürt hatte. Der Name bedeutet „Ottos Hoffnung“. Noch heute ist eine Mine im Umland in Betrieb. Doch die ungünstigen geologischen Bedingungen, vor allem ein etwa 25 Kilometer breites unterirdisches Wasservorkommen, machten die Förderung im Vergleich zu den Minen von Johannesburg oder bei Barberton unrentabel. Heute ist Ottoshoop vor allem als Bahnstation von Bedeutung. (de)
- Ottoshoop is one of the small towns in the Mahikeng Local Municipality in the North West Province of South Africa, situated 20km from the city of Mahikeng on the way to the town of Zeerust. Residents serve the scanty needs of a few locals, underwater divers and railway users. During the town's boom years from 1879 to 1880, Ottoshoop was, however, the commercial capital of South Africa. This spirit of the town still lives on in today's commercial capital of Africa – Johannesburg. Before the Europeans' arrival in mid-1800, the area was populated by the baRalong tribe, who built extensive walls to steer game into traps. (en)
