Description
In the collection period between 1901-1902, military interventions against the "Bangwa" took place, in which which Strümpell was involved as a lieutenant or first lieutenant in the German Schutztruppe was involved. The structural connection between between military penetration and the collection points to a context of violence in which Strümpell acquired the "Bangwa" collection. Since the attribution of the object to the "Bangwa" on the basis of the documentation is unclear, it remains unclear whether these military interventions as the context of acquisition are correct.
