Fritz Freithoff is a German-language author, translator and photographer from Namibia. He grew up on a farm near Windhoek and later migrated with his parents back to Hanover (Germany), from where his grandfather had left for what was then German South West Africa in 1885. Since then, he has commuted regularly between Hanover and Lüderitz with occasional detours to Cape Town, where he ran an antiquarian bookshop with Julien Adler and published the Authentic Africana Series.
