"Christine's love for antiques and history is reflected in this book published in 1980. Christine Marais' book, Swakopmund: Our Heritage, will do much to stimulate the awareness for the need of architectural conservation of the German heritage and will be a worthy acquisition for the discerning traveller, the architectural student and the collector of South West Africana. She felt that the buildings depicted were so vulnerable to destruction in the name of "progress" that this records might increase the authorities's awareness of taking the necessary steps to preserve these unique buildings for posterity. Buildings in the city include the Altes Gefängnis prison, designed by Heinrich Bause in 1909. The Woermannhaus, built in 1906 with a prominent tower (Damara tower) which is now a public library."
