Württemberg Cape Regiment The Württemberg Cape Regiment ( ) was a German military unit which was stationed at the Cape of Good Hope toward the end of the 18th century , in the service of the Dutch East India Company , and which played a considerable part in the cultural life of the Cape at that time . In 1786 Duke Charles Eugene of Württemberg concluded an agreement with the DEIC to furnish a regiment of 2000 men to the DEIC for the sum of 300 000 guilders . Any soldiers falling away would be replaced by new recruits on payment of an annual subsidy of 65 000 guilders . As a result , eleven military units under the command of fifty officers were dispatched in 1787 to the Cape via Holland . When they reached their destination seven months later 143 of the recruits had died as a result of privations . This exodus caused one of the first German poems on South Africa to be written : the " Kaplied " by CFD Schubart . In 1791 most of these soldiers were sent on to India , where almost all of them died . A small group of thirteen non - commissioned officers and soldiers stayed on at the Cape and found a refuge there .

Certain expressions , like " swaapstreek " ( a stupid or foolish prank ) , were perhaps permanently absorbed by the everyday language at this time . Among the officers were well - educated men , who had attended the military training school near Stuttgart with the German poet Friedrich Schiller and had been on friendly terms with him - men such as the doctor , Friedrich Ludwig Liesching , and the poet ' s brother - in - law , Karl van Wolzogen . Some of them , including Liesching , collected botanical and geological specimens . A reading circle was formed and literary works obtained from Germany . These men also formed an amateur theatrical company , which staged German plays . Several married Cape Town women . Their chaplain , JF Spönlin , effected an improvement in the school system of the Cape . Dr Liesching became the owner of the largest pharmacy and later was chief of medical services and the hospital in Cape Town . Captain Johannes Zorn held the position of first landdrost at the Cape , and built the imposing mansion Leeuwenhof , now the official residence of the Premier of the Western Cape . His garden , with its exotic plants and birds , was one of the sights of the town . Johannes Müller , a common soldier of the regiment , grew rich as a tavern owner , married a slave woman , and in 1817 returned to his fatherland . Here he bought an estate , was ennobled , and lived on in folk - tales as ‘ der schwarze Baron ’ .
