Elf Jahre Gouverneur in Deutsch-Südwestafrika

A first-person memoir and administrative report recounts eleven years overseeing a colonial protectorate in southwestern Africa, documenting the imposition and consolidation of foreign rule, treaties and relations with indigenous communities, recurring uprisings and military campaigns, and profiles of prominent local leaders. It surveys legal and administrative structures, the organization of colonial forces, and policies on land, reserves, and missions, while detailing economic development, infrastructure projects, livestock epidemics, and settlement initiatives. The work closes with reflections on governance, lessons learned, and prospects for future development of the territory.
