Stauch resigned from his job with the railroad company and launched a systematic search for diamonds. One of the laborers, who previously worked at the Kimberley diamond mine, found a diamond. In 1907, the Germen railroad worker, August Stauch, heard that there may be diamonds in the area and he asked railroad laborers to keep an eye out for sparkling stones along the railroads in the region. A major diamond rush, located in Lüderitz (in the former German colony of Deutsch-Südwestafrika - German South West Africa) is among Namibia’s most famous diamond sites.
