This collection is the oldest collection from "German South-West Africa" at the Linden Museum. Most of the objects came much later, mainly after 1900. In his letters to Graf von Linden, Bülow complained that there was little of "ethnographic" interest in situ and thus also justified the small number of objects sent. Bülow also had an object made especially for Linden. This was done through the mediation of the teacher Josaphat Kamatoto, who, among other things, travelled to the first German colonial exhibition in Berlin in 1896. Text: Christoph Rippe.
