Description
Military interventions against the "Bangwa" took place in the collection period between 1901-1902, in which Strümpell was involved as a lieutenant or first lieutenant of the German Schutztruppe. The structural connection between military penetration and collecting points to a context of violence in which Strümpell acquired the "Bangwa" collection.
