Albert Hoffa was himself born in Richmond (South Africa). Even after moving to Germany, he maintained contact with his family in South Africa, including his sister Harriet. The objects from "German South-West Africa" may have been acquired in part through these contacts, but most were probably acquired through his friend Dr. Anton Lübbert (as in the case of Hoffa's brother-in-law Ferdinand Bang). Lübbert also procured the four "Benin bronzes" contained in the collection from the previous owner Adolph Heemke from Geestemünde. Heemke himself was a merchant in West Africa.
