Louis Nels

Louis Nels (December 16, 1855 - November 13, 1910) was a German government official who served as acting Reichskommissar in German South-West Africa in 1890-1891.

Trained as a lawyer, he later joined the German civil service. Beginning in 1885 he served under acting Reichskommisar Heinrich Ernst Göring (1839-1913) in Otjimbingwe, the colonial headquarters of German South-West Africa. In 1890 he became a colonial judge, and shortly afterwards replaced Göring as acting Reichskommissar. Nels would maintain this position from August 1890 to March 1891, when he was succeeded by Curt von François (1852-1931).

In 1891 he left German South-West Africa, and afterwards was a consul in various foreign countries. Nels died on November 13, 1910 in Neuerburg, Germany.
