Volkmann's four collections came to the Linden Museum between 1903 and 1904. As he himself wrote in his letters to Graf von Linden, he acquired the objects himself in situ shortly before or in 1903 and 1904. The majority of the objects originate from the Kalahari region around Sandvelde and Grootfontein. The objects from the Okavango region probably originate from the territory of present-day Botswana, including the area of "King Andara", to whom Volkmann paid a diplomatic visit in 1903. Volkmann does not describe in detail how he acquired the objects, except by using the commonly used word "collecting".
