\n\t\t\t\t\t1st Generation\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t

Our story began in 1910 in what is now Namibia, then a German colony. In the heart of the Kalahari, Hans L\u00fchl laid the foundation under challenging conditions\u2014driven by a pioneering spirit, hard work, and a life lived in harmony with nature.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

With simple means and a great deal of hard work, the first farmhouse was built in the Kalahari. Stone by stone, the foundation for a lasting home was laid here\u2014built to endure for generations.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

After years of hard work, the farmhouse in the Kalahari was completed.

One year after the completion of the farmhouse, cattle ranching was established in the Kalahari. It soon became an essential source of livelihood and went on to shape life on the farm for generations.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

As early as 1911, horse breeding began in the Kalahari.

The next generation was growing up. The first children of the family experienced life on the farm from the very beginning. Surrounded by vast open spaces, hard work, and nature, they developed a deep connection to the Kalahari at an early age and carried the family legacy forward.(Hans Jochen L\u00fchl, born 1914; Hilda, born 1915; Hans Richard, born 1919; Erika, born 1920; and Hannelore, born 1922.) In 1953, ownership of the farm was passed on to Hans Jochen L\u00fchl.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

With the construction of the cheese dairy in 1934, a new chapter began on the farm in the Kalahari.

The third generation was growing up\u2014still children, yet already deeply involved in life on the farm. Together with the second generation, they experienced the rhythms of daily life in the Kalahari and gradually carried forward the traditions that had been built over the years.\nIn 1983, Hans Jochen L\u00fchl handed over the farm to his sons, marking the beginning of a new chapter in the family\u2019s history.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Together with the fourth generation, Jule Hess (n\u00e9e L\u00fchl) and her husband, Sigurd Hess, have taken responsibility for the farm. With great dedication, they continue the family tradition while at the same time guiding the operation into the future.\nUnder their leadership, cattle ranching, charcoal production, and hunting remain central pillars of the farm. Meanwhile, their two children are already growing up immersed in farm life\u2014representing the next generation in a long and enduring family story.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
