Dausab, Traugott
* 26.05.1889, ? † .


When missionary Laaf (who was stationed in Hoachanas in December 1920) returned to Germany in October 1922, Hoachanas became a branch-station of Gibeon. Spellmeyer, stationed in Gibeon, appointed Noach [sic] Tsei-tseib [sic] and Traugott Dausab as "Filialeleiter" in Hoachanas. On 06.07.1923 Spellmeyer visited the branch-station Hoachanas for the first time.1

1924 Spellmeyer mentions a certain "Ferienkurs", which was attended by Hendrik Witbooi [Klein Hendrik] and Traugott Dausab. (RMG 2.500a:50).

Brother of Johannes Dausab (Keetmanshoop) and Daniel Dausab (Rehoboth) - both of whom joined the AMEC after the seccesion in 1946, while Traugott Dausab remained in the RMS mission church.2

"Teacher and evangelist" B.

Pönnighaus visited Hoachanas (where no missionary was stationed at that moment and a possible resettlement of the inhabitants by the Administration was imminent) on one of his extended journeys through his district. He was greeted by Traugott Dausab.

Mentioned as "Teacher-Evangelis(Skoolmeester-Evangelis)" "Gibeon-Hoachanas" Synod-South Keetmanshooop June 1938 RMG 2.642 p. 101,

After the seccession of AMEC the pressure against Traugott Dausab became so strong, that missionary Mayer had to transfere Dausab away from Hoachanas.3

Mentioned by Spellmeyer as teacher-evangelist for Hoachanas in his statistics requested by Pönnighaus in 1939. AELCRNVIII2.2PaulinumKorrespondenz1936-1948p.36,

Meyer schlägt vor, Traugott Dausab zum 01.09.1958 zu pensionieren, weil der Ortsmissionar Kessler meint, dass Dausab nicht mehr in der Lage ist, seinen Dienst zu tun. Dausab will trotzdem gegen ein Entgelt oder kleines Gehalt weiter zur Verfügung zu stehen. Meyer schlägt der Missionsleitung statt einer einmaligen Zahlung eines Betrags eine Pensionszahlung von monatlich £ 3.-.-. ("Ich meine nicht, dass wir mehr als £ 3.-.- einzusetzten brauchen monatlich [...]."5

Dâusab, Traugott	Gives a (typical?) description of the character of an evangelist.6
Mentioned in the list AELCRNVIII2.11A1963-65 "Medewerkers van die Evangelies-Lutherse Kerk in SWA (Rynse Sendingkerk) Jan. 1963". The list states that he was in the service of the ELK since 1957. The list has however a question mark under "Waar werksaam in 1963",

In his report to the 10th Ordinary Synod of the ELK in SWA in Otjimbingwe, 24.-29.09.1983, the preses informed the Synod that "Oudevangelis" T. Dâusab (Tses) had died during the last two years since this report.7
