Lonely Planet review for Turnhalle

Built by Otto Busch in 1909, the Turnhalle was originally the practice hall for the Windhoek Gymnastic Club. In 1975 it was modernised and turned into a conference hall, and on 1 September of that year, it was the venue for the first Constitutional Conference on Independence for South West Africa, which subsequently - and more conveniently - came to be called the Turnhalle Conference. During the 1980s it hosted several political summits and debates on the way to Namibian independence.

It's now the site of meetings of the National Council.
