  • The Battle of Namutoni fought between the militaries of the Ondonga kingdoms and German South West Africa on 28 January 1904 was part of an uprising against German Colonial expansion catalysed by the Herero Uprising to the south that started a few weeks earlier. It was fought at the site of Fort Namutoni in northern Namibia. The fort was held by four regular soldiers of the German Schutztruppe and three colonial reservists: Fritz Grossman NCO, Jakob Basendowski (NCO), Health Sergeant Bruno Lassmann and soldiers 1st Class Richard Lemke, Albert Lier, Franz Becker and Karl Hartmann. The fort was stocked with 1,500 rounds of ammunition. Chief Nehale Mpingana of the Ondonga people led the attack on the fort. Mpingana was noted for his strongly anti-colonial stance having successfully attacked the Dorsland Trek-Boers in 1886. Continuous attacks on the fort by 500 Ondonga warriors lasted all day until slowing down in frequency as the day went on and eventually stopped in the afternoon. With only 150 rounds of ammunition remaining the defending Germans decided to retreat to the farm Sandhup 40 kilometres to the south on horseback during the night having incurred no casualties. The following morning the fort was sacked and destroyed by Ondonga forces claiming a number of cattle from the fort. Following the battle the fort was rebuilt and greatly expanded by the Germans.

Se luchó en el sitio de Fort Namutoni en el norte de Namibia.​​ El fuerte era mantenido por cuatro soldados regulares del Schutztruppe alemán y tres reservistas coloniales: Fritz Grossman NCO, Jakob Basendowski (NCO), el Sargento de Sanidad Bruno Lassmann y los soldados de primera clase Richard Lemke, Albert Lier, Franz Becker y Karl Hartmann. El fuerte estaba provisto de 1500 cartuchos de munición.​ El jefe Nehale Mpingana del pueblo dirigió el ataque al fuerte. Mpingana era conocido por su postura fuertemente anticolonial habiendo atacado con éxito a los -Bóeres en 1886.​ Los continuos ataques al fuerte por parte de 500 guerreros Ondonga duraron todo el día hasta que se redujo su frecuencia a medida que avanzaba el día y finalmente se detuvo por la tarde. Con solo 150 cartuchos de munición restantes los alemanes defensores decidieron retirarse a la granja Sandhup 40 kilómetros al sur a caballo durante la noche sin haber sufrido ninguna baja. A la mañana siguiente el fuerte fue saqueado y destruido por las fuerzas de Ondonga que reclamaron un número de ganado del fuerte.​ Después de la batalla, el fuerte fue reconstruido y ampliado por los alemanes.​ (es)
